Are We Okay With This...? Disability & Hollywood

Did you know that 95% of all disabled roles in Hollywood are played by...able-bodied actors?
Is that okay? Is that not okay? Should there maybe be more discussion around this?
(....Yes! So let's discuss!)

MY STORY //


Fourteen years of pain and failed ankle surgeries brought me to 2018, when I made the difficult decision to become a twenty-seven-year-old below-the-knee elective amputee. This channel is to document my journey of amputation surgery, recovery, and reclaiming my life.


MY PROSTHETIC LEG:
I use the Ossur ProFlex XC Torsion foot/ankle with a direct socket with passive vaccum suction.
