Lauren's Blurbs
About me:
- My name is Lauren. I am disabled and use a wheelchair.
- I was born with Cerebral Palsy which is often referred to as C.P.
- Cerebral Palsy is a neurological disability, which affects body movement, posture and balance.
- I also have a learning disability called dyscalculia, which means I have difficulty understanding number-based information and math.
- I’m not going to tell you that being disabled is a “blessing in disguise.”
- It’s not. It sucks and I wish that I wasn’t.
- I don’t need your pity or to be put on a pedestal as an “inspiration.”
- I’m disclosing this information to help de-stigmatize disability and mental health issues. I've felt scared, isolated and misunderstood for most of my life.
- If I can help someone feel less alone and seen then I've done my job.
- I am an adult woman with my own gifts and shortcomings.
- We need your acknowledgement and willingness to listen.
- I’m a disability rights advocate. I want to make the world a more accessible, considerate and kinder place for everyone.
- Music is my life, especially punk rock.
- 70's punk and 80's hardcore are my favorite style of punk.
- The punk scene is supposed to be a place where outcasts find community and acceptance.
- I also love soul, hip-hop, singer-songwriters, indie pop, alt rock, and some electronic music

- I also love soul, hip-hop, singer-songwriters, indie pop, alt rock, and some electronic music.
- I'm obsessed with TV, audio-books and movies. Storytelling is a bridge to learning about each other and building empathy.
- I'm a super fan of basketball and American football.
- I LOVE people but find humanity as a whole to be pretty disappointing.
- Animals, especially cats and dogs, warm my heart.
