Disability leaders are consistently overlooked and marginalised, regulated to the metaphorical ‘room next door’. This exclusion fuels anger and frustration as disabled people witness injustice and harm caused by policies that ignore their needs. The article ‘From the room next door’ by DLI CEO Christina Ryan, challenges the perception that anger equates to aggression or rudeness. Anger is a valid and necessary response to systemic discrimination and a powerful tool for driving change. Disability leaders are experts at navigating these challenges, turning their anger into constructive action.

Disability Leadership Institute member Isabella Fantasia is interviewed for The Sunflower Conversations. #Disability #Leadership in action.
I'm really excited to finally share this podcast interview! Earlier this year the wonderful Peta Hooke interviewed me again but this time for the 🌻 Sunflower Conversations Podcast. As you all know I always proudly wear my sunflower lanyard whenever I go out especially on public transport so when I was asked to be interviewed about my experiences with it, I was so honoured. I love being an advocate for the sunflower and sharing about how it gives me confidence to leave my house. It's been amazing to watch the awareness around the sunflower and hidden disabilities grow in Australia with it beginning as a small operation by 2 people, Sandee Facy and Justin Bruce a few years ago. To now where most airport and forms of public transport in Australia and New Zealand have joined up as members and had staff trained to understand how to support people with hidden disabilities. It's such an incredible initiative that was created from the UK and is now global. Please go check my 🌻Sunflower Conversations Podcast episode: https://lnkd.in/gpSXQFFk
