Life Through a Unique Lens

A blog dedicated to helping others understand and navigate the world of disability by sharing first-hand experiences.

I’m So Glad You’re Here!

Hi, I’m Ashley and I am a manual wheelchair user due to having a disability called Cerebral Palsy.

When I was growing up, sharing experiences online as a helpful resource for others wasn’t as popular as it is today. Due to that, my family and I had no idea if the destination we wanted to visit was accessible or how accessible it truly was until we got there, which wasn’t ideal, especially if were traveling a long distance. I started this blogging journey to help others navigate the world of disability by sharing my experiences with traveling as a wheelchair user while also sharing all things disability lifestyle.

I was given a 0% chance of survival when I was born due to my extreme prematurity. However, despite what doctors told my family, I proved them wrong. I have a Bachelor’s degree, I helped change my high school’s home bound policy, I helped a global brand launch their first adaptive line for people with disabilities and I am officially a published children’s book author.

Outside of writing, I love 80s music, I love visiting new destinations and I love cruises as well as theme parks. With this blog. I hope to show that although I have a disability and I have to navigate many hurdles and obstacles, I do not let it stop me from achieving my hopes and dreams. Anything is possible and through my writings, I hope to show those who may feel lost or overwhelmed that they are not alone.

Welcome to my little corner of the internet. 🙂
