A Glimpse into My Recent Encounter
Ever had an experience that made you question
society's norms?
Allow me to take you on a roller-coaster of emotions
as I share a recent encounter that left me stunned.
Picture this: I went to the hospital seeking a
certificate confirming the injuries I sustained due to a bus driver's
negligence.
But what I received was beyond unexpected.
A Shocking Twist
Instead of acknowledging the severity of my injuries,
the doctor's focus shifted.
She wove my injuries into a web of unrelated illnesses
and, most astonishingly, fixated on my weight.
Yes, you read that right – my weight became the
centerpiece of her assessment.
The injuries I suffered took a backseat as she
prioritized discussing my weight and how it related to the incident.
The Power of Assumptions
What's truly striking is the assumptions that
followed.
It was as though my wheelchair existence was secondary
to her preconceived notions.
The doctor seemed to imply that my weight alone was
reason enough for my wheelchair use, disregarding the very real injuries that
led me there.
The issue of justice and the bus driver's negligence
faded into the background, overshadowed by her singular fixation.
Unveiling Society's Lens
This experience, although personal, reflects a broader
issue that our society grapples with – the tendency to judge and categorize
based on superficial factors.
It's a narrative that many have encountered, where
assumptions and biases take precedence over facts and reality.
But this story is just the tip of the iceberg.
What Lies Ahead
My upcoming book "Not Now Please: Living Through
Racism Ableism and Grief" delves deep into these societal challenges.
It's a collection of experiences that break through
the surface, exposing the complex interplay of prejudices, injustices, and the
strength that emerges from within.
From personal stories to thought-provoking insights,
this book will spark conversations and ignite change.

Stay tuned as we count down the days to the book
release.
Together, we'll peel back the layers and unravel the
truths that demand our attention.
Let's challenge assumptions, question norms, and
create a world that values every story, every experience, and every individual.
Get ready to dive deep, because change begins when we
look beyond the surface. 🌟🔍
