Check out this incredibly believable photoshopped image of me on Senior night in high school - long before the Photoshop era when we had to rely on PAINT to edit photos. This was also the first time I was told I couldn't swim because of illness... so my girls photoshopped me in to make me feel included. From disease to seizures, I've been told time and time again that I can't swim, dance, or run. So when I attended a facility today to soak up the scent of chlorine while my better half completed physical therapy, I inquired about the pool... and I was told that I would be provided my own ATTENDANT to swim!!! Furthermore, I would be provided SUPPORT by said attendant should I require guidance for my vision impairment. This fitness facility is building an inclusive space. What are YOU doing to create a safe space for ALL guests? I'm genuinely curious as YOU play a part in building an inclusive and accessible world for all! I haven't been able to enjoy the water in DECADES (without paying an arm and a leg for support)... For the first time in a very, very long time, I actually feel like I am welcome. Like I belong. And I am so incredibly thankful. Be inclusive by setting the stage for ALL to feel welcome ♥ #Inclusion #DifferentlyAbled #Disability
