Disabled by Disability is not simply a memoir—it is a journey through a world that often misunderstands those who move differently. It traces a life shaped by society’s expectations, systemic barriers, and personal choices, without revealing the full story. Every page invites reflection, urging the reader to question what defines ability, value, and purpose.

Disabled by Disability is where life’s truths come alive, much like where brands come alive through strategic storytelling.
