What Advocacy Really Looks Like
In this episode of The Equality Edit, Esi Hardy is joined by content creator, advocate and MBE Isaac Harvey to explore what disability advocacy and leadership really look like behind the scenes beyond the polished social posts and inspirational headlines.
Together, they trace Isaac’s journey from adventurous vlogger to recognised disability advocate and community leader, and the internal battles that came with that shift from comparison and burnout to redefining success on his own terms. Isaac shares candidly how external “success markers” (views, awards, relationships) didn’t fix how he felt inside, and how learning about wellbeing and mental health changed the way he shows up online and offline.
This conversation also digs into the extra emotional, physical and administrative labour that comes with being a disabled person in an inaccessible world especially when you’re also using your lived experience to create content, speak, and advocate for change.
