It sucks, but not everywhere you go is accessible for someone with a mobility aid such as a wheelchair.

Not everything is perfect, but some people are doing their best with what is in the scope of possible.

Published Poem
So I know this really doesn’t have anything to do with accessibility, but I’m just so proud. My poem, To Be A Bird, was published by Consilience. I have attached the link below. It just goes to show you that just because you have a disability doesn’t mean you can’t be create or have success.…
