Hey! Welcome to my disability & art blog.

My name is Briana and I have cerebral palsy, epilepsy, ADHD, PMDD, endometriosis, POTS, and multiple other conditions that are difficult to deal with. I try to use my skills as an artist to convey the challenges of living with disabilities in a way that everyone can understand, regardless of their abilities. I attempt to transcend ability and demonstrate my personal experience in this art & disability blog. Check it out!

ABLE Voices Podcast

I’m honored to be featured in Berklee’s ABLE Voices Podcast, led by Dr. Rhoda Bernard. In this post, I share how our conversation about disability and the arts led to my inclusion in Dr. Bernard’s new book — and how I stepped into the role of podcast guest-host to interview three incredible disabled artists. These projects highlight the importance of accessibility, representation, and creative inclusion. Listen to the episodes and learn more about the artists here!

Cerebral Palsy Awareness

Over the course of the past year, I decided to start sharing more about my disabilities, and I couldn’t be happier.

Living with multiple disabilities is exhausting to say the least, but I want to continue to share my journey and inform others. Swipe through to learn more about my experience with CP, different types of CP, how you can help, and more!

Support Independent Disability Journalism

I’ve been running my Disability & Art Blog unpaid for the past year, sharing personal stories, research, and resources to help others feel seen, informed, and empowered. This post outlines my GoFundMe campaign to keep the blog going and expand it into audio and podcast formats to make it more accessible, engaging, and inclusive. If funded, I’ll be able to write investigative articles, interview experts, and launch my podcast, Thank You So Much for Asking. Every contribution helps me keep this work alive and accessible to all.
