I’m Lauren, a Disability Activist and Content Creator who believes accessibility helps everybody. You can spot me from afar by my signature pink wheels!
Shortly after becoming disabled, I was quickly faced with the harsh reality that there is no ‘guide to life’. My experience as a disabled student prompted me to put my English Language and Linguistics (BA) to use, to create guides that help people navigate the world and access any support that is available to them. On the local level, I advocate for individuals navigating higher education living in Brighton, after setting up my disability group ‘A Little Poorly Brighton’.
I strive to be honest about the content I share, as each day comes with fresh challenges. Somehow I always find my way laughing through the chaos. My PA’s say my life would make for a great TV show!
I’m proud to say that I worked together with Access Your Life to launch a Grant Assistance Scheme which supports disabled people to access funding for their mobility equipment.
I am a self- confessed wheelchair geek! I love regularly partnering with brands to review new innovative products. It’s important to me that disabled people knows exactly what products are available on the market to suit their needs.
