Travel is always a bit hit-and-miss.; that’s what makes it exciting!

But accessibility barriers are always stressful and always unnecessary.

I have an ongoing war with anxiety. Perhaps I always will. I wanted to share a bit about my experience.

I loved this Barbara Kruger piece. I felt it resonated deeply - though it’s intended message is about reproductive rights.

I think it’s important to understand the vast array of people within the deafblind community.

Helen Keller was our G.O.A.T. but she isn’t the only way to think of deafblindness.

I’m often asked about how I experience music now.

Hopefully this entry provides some insight into music, with an ABI.

Listening is different to hearing. The same as watching is different to scanning. One is active, the other is passive.

Without meaning to sound creepy, I am always listening.

I did a bit of Halloween coil-craft. Which one did I wear trick-or-treating? What was the hidden message?

Did I burn my fingers on the glue gun? (Of course).

I often choose to leave my processor in my bag and explore the world in silence.

It’s a different experience and it helps reduce fatigue levels.

This adventure was brilliant as someone else joined me in my silent world.

This is a revisiting of an Instagram post. I was in a really tough spot when I wrote it.

When it shifts from having a disability, to being disabled.

I've been asked to describe silence a few times. lots of my family and friends like to try to imagine my new natural state.

I've tried to describe a little of what it's like here.

I was in Sydney, presenting to some whales about patient advocacy and the barriers faced by those of us with medical conditions and/or disabilities.

Though it was a nerve-wracking cohort, I held my nerve and jumped in!

Information is empowering. Making informed decisions is key to safety and connection in society.

For those with a disability, access is curtailed and as we rely more and more on AI to deliver services, we are increasingly falling into the gaps.

I delivered the keynote address yesterday at the Department of Finance.

Have a read of what I talked about and see some photos of me looking professional and maybe a tad goofy.

Hello, I'm Hannah. Welcome!

Have a little read of my blog intro and what to expect in this little corner of the world.
