I got judged often for not dressing like a poor disabled woman 'should' dress. WTAF is wrong with people?!?! Just because I'm physically disabled for life & am of working poor class, doesn't mean I can't fucking look fabulous!
I've always been great at repurposing/upcycling shit before those were actual terms. I grew up very physically & neurologically disabled, was extremely poor & I learned how to adapt very well because both my parents taught me multiple useful skills. I adapted clothes & made myself outfits because nothing on racks fit people like me too well. I started doing adaptive fashion designs for myself & still do.

I am starting to look at making my childhood dreams, much bigger. I want to start designing super cool fashions for other physically disabled folks, of all ages - who also don't want only drab basics but want to expand their fashion styles to bigger horizons.

I can do this.
