A Glimpse into My Recent Encounter

Ever had an experience that made you question society's norms?

Allow me to take you on a roller-coaster of emotions as I share a recent encounter that left me stunned.

Picture this: I went to the hospital seeking a certificate confirming the injuries I sustained due to a bus driver's negligence.

But what I received was beyond unexpected.

A Shocking Twist

Instead of acknowledging the severity of my injuries, the doctor's focus shifted.

She wove my injuries into a web of unrelated illnesses and, most astonishingly, fixated on my weight.

Yes, you read that right – my weight became the centerpiece of her assessment.

The injuries I suffered took a backseat as she prioritized discussing my weight and how it related to the incident.

The Power of Assumptions

What's truly striking is the assumptions that followed.

It was as though my wheelchair existence was secondary to her preconceived notions.

The doctor seemed to imply that my weight alone was reason enough for my wheelchair use, disregarding the very real injuries that led me there.

The issue of justice and the bus driver's negligence faded into the background, overshadowed by her singular fixation.

Unveiling Society's Lens

This experience, although personal, reflects a broader issue that our society grapples with – the tendency to judge and categorize based on superficial factors.

It's a narrative that many have encountered, where assumptions and biases take precedence over facts and reality.

But this story is just the tip of the iceberg.

What Lies Ahead

My upcoming book "Not Now Please: Living Through Racism Ableism and Grief" delves deep into these societal challenges.

It's a collection of experiences that break through the surface, exposing the complex interplay of prejudices, injustices, and the strength that emerges from within.

From personal stories to thought-provoking insights, this book will spark conversations and ignite change.

Join the Conversation

Stay tuned as we count down the days to the book release.

Together, we'll peel back the layers and unravel the truths that demand our attention.

Let's challenge assumptions, question norms, and create a world that values every story, every experience, and every individual.

Get ready to dive deep, because change begins when we look beyond the surface. 🌟🔍
