I couldn't have been more excited to get an email response from Micah Fowler, the first actor with CP I saw on TV.

I just interviewed Emmerdale's James Moore for The Disability Representation Diary! We discussed the importance of authentic disabled characters in media and the ongoing fight for proper representation in today's political climate.

Each week I will be interviewing a disabled person about their experiences of disability representation—and why they matter. Please share and subscribe! 💛🖤🤍

Literally the only way this Christmas gift could've been better is if were a birkin. #Emmerdale

I urge you to vote No. This bill leaves us vulnerable. Disabled lives are worth more than a few hours of debate --- don't help to put a potentially slowly tightening noose around our neck.

My first ever published #poem is about being #disabled and working-class. #poetry

As an introduction: I am an award winning #disabled journalist and published poet. Soaps, Star Trek and a bit of a Smeghead.
