It’s the end of an era, but I’ve been changed for good. Yesterday, when I was on my way home, I received an email that said Boundless Babes Society will no longer continue after 2025.
In July 2021, I decided to attend the Rollettes Experience virtually. This was the first time that I was involved in an event with the disability community. I was hooked, and there was no going back! After RE, I applied to join Boundless Babes Society. The day of my first meeting, I was looking forward to finding out what life had in store for me after I decided to embrace my life as a disabled woman. When I got my new wheelchair, my mentor, Renee, challenged me to go out for coffee once a week, so I could get used to using my chair and being seen in public, as it was something I was self-conscious about. Fast forward to 2023, and doors start to open to advocacy opportunities that I would never have had if I hadn’t learned the lessons in self-confidence, being unapologetically myself, and taking up space. I would not be the woman I am today without this program
