In the last little while, I’ve been thinking more about advocacy and what small steps I can take as an activist everyday. My child received a diagnosis last year, and I’m now navigating the accessibility of our education system for the first time and fighting against the barriers that he may experience at school, if I don’t proactively advocate on his behalf.

I am constantly on the look-out for opportunities to provide feedback and make suggestions, whether they are big or small, to make our world a more inclusive one and our arts sector a place which truly embraces difference. I absolutely loved a recent opportunity to be involved in the co-design a new Arts and Disability Associated Plan for Australia and am excited to see the ripple effects of high-level policy work down into the practical day to day operations of arts and cultural organisations over the next five years.

I’m not interested in being a passive bystander, but I want to be an active part of making things better and creating a cultural shift.
