What does it mean to be an 'appearance activist'? Mellissa Kavenagh from the Centre of Research Excellence in Disability and Health meets Australian writer Carly Findlay. Carly is a passionate advocate for disability rights, with her activism reducing disability-related complaints in Melbourne's taxi services. Carly shows fearless determination in calling out discriminatory behaviours, but also raises the personal cost of being an advocate; the double-edge sword that is social media and the challenges and the expectations of speaking on behalf of marginalised groups.
