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!

Disabilities in Star Wars: The Evolution of Representation and the Impact of KB in Skeleton Crew
In Skeleton Crew Episode 6, KB’s journey offers a groundbreaking portrayal of disability in the Star Wars universe. As someone with cerebral palsy and epilepsy, KB’s story resonated deeply with me, showcasing the importance of authentic and inclusive storytelling. This is the kind of representation the galaxy—and we—need.
I only understand it in theory.
Having cerebral palsy, I never learned how to ride a bike. I tried several times, but it always resulted in injuries. Learn more about how I deeply relate to Fraiser Crane when it comes to riding a bike.
