Summary

Disabled isn't a bad word, okay?! Fat disabled people are still treated as second class citizens and we need to talk about it. Accessibility in the UK is still shockingly bad and disabled people are constantly facing extra judgement from ableist people. And yes, there have been massive improvements to plus size representation, but sticking in a white able-bodied plus size women and a pretty disabled woman in the corner of a campaign lineup isn't good enough. So today, we're chatting to disabled fashion blogger, FromSarahLex about the reality of being a wheelchair user, how doctors have treated her because of her weight, and how she's learnt to be a confident bad bitch 💅. Sarah is the absolute best and somehow managed to match Lauren's energy?!?! Who knew that was possible... Anyway, we're besties now and Sarah may be building a sidecar onto her wheelchair so her and Lauren can go around town talking to strangers... Learn more about your ad choices.
