I’ve come to document my football match experiences on my blog, so I’m adding to that growing collection today. Not only is it nice to look back on, I think it’s extremely important to shine the spotlight on accessibility in football. As a women’s football fan, the prevalence of accessibility in the women’s game is…
On disabled burnout and the cost of resilience
I’ve wanted to pen this piece for a good few weeks now. The thing is, I couldn’t quite find the words. Partly thanks to brain fog, partly because I couldn’t string the sentences together, and partly because it’s been non-stop. Like every blog post, I’m going to be real with you, even if putting my…
Why my disability isn’t the only thing that defines me

Because accessibility isn’t a box you can tick once and forget about. There isn’t a magic point where something becomes accessible to every single disabled person.
Our access needs are different. What works for one person might not work for another.
Rather than asking, “is it accessible?”
Ask: “Accessible for who?”

She wears a black T-shirt, a long, multicoloured patterned floral skirt and a silver necklace.]](https://lifeofablindgirl.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
