She has written a book, The Little Book of Ableism, has done a TedX talk called 'Fighting Ableism Through Fashion' and has had extensive media coverage for her work both with Unhidden and on inclusion. Victoria is a an ambassador for Models of Diversity, Purple Tuesday and Parallels' purple sock day.
