ABOUT
Hi, I'm Saskia, a disabled content creator, writer and disability advocate based in London.
Disability is a huge part of my life, but it isn't the only part of me. I'm also a creative, a university student, a beauty and lifestyle lover, a writer, an advocate, and someone who still wants to experience as much of the world as possible.
My content explores what it actually means to navigate everyday life as a disabled young woman. I talk openly about accessibility, wheelchair use, chronic illness, neurodivergence, university, beauty and all of the little things that come with living in a body and a world that aren't always designed with people like me in mind.
A huge part of my work is challenging the assumptions that surround disability. There are so many misconceptions about what disabled people can and can't do. People often have a very narrow idea of what disability looks like, assuming that someone who can walk sometimes doesn't need a wheelchair, that being young means you can't be seriously disabled, or that using mobility aids means you've somehow lost your independence.
My own experience has taught me just how complicated disability can be. My conditions fluctuate, my abilities fluctuate, and what I can manage one day isn't necessarily what I can manage the next. Sometimes I can walk a short distance. Sometimes I can't. Sometimes I can do something independently, but doing it comes with a level of pain, exhaustion or risk that isn't visible from the outside.
That's why I use my platform to talk about the reality behind the wheelchair, the mobility aids and the accessibility requirements. I want people to understand that disabled people don't owe anyone proof of their disability, and that using the tools that allow us to participate in life is not giving up. It's creating access.
Accessibility is one of the biggest focuses of my content.
Whether I'm reviewing a hotel, travelling somewhere new, navigating university or simply going about my everyday life, I want to highlight the things that make somewhere genuinely accessible, as well as the things that don't.
I want my content to provide the kind of honest, practical information that I wish was easier to find.
While disability advocacy is at the heart of what I do, I don't want my entire identity online to revolve around being disabled.
I love beauty, fashion, lifestyle content and all of the things that make life feel fun and exciting. I'm passionate about showing that disabled people can be interested in beauty, love getting dressed up, create content, go to university, travel, work with brands and have a life that isn't defined solely by their health.
I'm particularly interested in working with beauty and lifestyle brands that genuinely want to make their products and experiences more inclusive. I love creating content that combines accessibility with creativity, whether that's accessible beauty tips, getting ready with me videos, product content, lifestyle campaigns or showing how a product fits into disabled life.
For me, inclusive content shouldn't feel like an afterthought. Disabled people are consumers, students, travellers, beauty lovers, creatives and customers too. We deserve to see ourselves represented in the spaces we already exist in.
I want to show the reality of being a young disabled person trying to build a future while also navigating things that aren't always predictable. Sometimes that looks like studying, creating content and working towards my goals. Sometimes it looks like adapting my plans, asking for adjustments or recognising that resting is the most productive thing I can do.
There is no single way to be a successful disabled person, and I don't believe we should have to make ourselves less disabled to fit into a world that wasn't designed for us.
Why I share
I know how powerful it can be to see someone else talking about an experience you've struggled to put into words.
That's ultimately why I share so much of my life online.
If someone sees one of my videos and realises they're not the only person struggling with accessibility, that's important to me. If a newly wheelchair-using person sees me travelling, going to university or getting dressed up and realises that their life isn't over, that's important to me. If a non-disabled person learns something they never considered before, that's important too.
I don't expect every piece of content I create to change the world. Sometimes I just want to make someone laugh, share something pretty, talk about a product I love or document an ordinary day, because disabled people deserve ordinary lives too.
We deserve to be visible when we're advocating for ourselves, but we also deserve to be visible when we're doing absolutely nothing related to disability at all.
