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!
Watch My Guest Spot on The Moxie Pod
I recently had the honor of being a guest on The Moxie Pod, a Cerebral Palsy (CP) podcast hosted by two beautiful, intelligent, and hilarious ladies with CP – Saaniya Deora and Sara Nielsen. Sara and Saanyia started a weekly podcast in December of 2024 to demonstrate the force of character, determination, and nerve of people living with CP; in other words, Moxie.
Thank You So Much for Asking
Since absolutely no one has asked me my thoughts or opinions on anything whatsoever, I’m starting a podcast, aptly named, “Thank You So Much for Asking.”
