#MakeTheDaysCount #MuscularDystrophy #BeBoldBeWildBeFearless | As my hero, the awesome Cindy Gallop best says: “Shared Values + Shared Action = #Shared Profit.” • • • • • • I take this quote seriously and always aim to make every second of my life count, collaborating with shared #bravery and #purpose to have real, positive impact in the world; and those of you who know me well will know that I do this everyday whether in what I do, whom I meet, and wherever in the world I go. So today, my ace mate, Vivek and his lovely mum Manjula from Leicester came to visit! 🎉 I first met Vivek years ago through our mutual disability advocacy work for Muscular Dystrophy UK’s Trailblazers Network; we are also recently working on lots of exciting projects together that I can’t wait to start sharing with you. • • • • • • Anyway, we had a great chat and a proper catch up. We chatted everything life, travel, politics, work, projects and future world domination. It was amazing! 😃 • • • • • • Thank you, Vivek (and Manjula) for a fantastic day. Until next time. Here's to more shaking up the world to make it a better place for all and to lots of incredible adventures together in 2017 (and beyond)! ☀️ • • • • • • Take care and speak soon mate. 🙌🏼 • • • • • • “Don't count the days, make the days count.” – Muhammad Ali • • • • • • #ONWARDSandUPWARDS. 👊🏼 • • • • • • #London #2017 #friends #create #creative #creativity #WorkHardAndBeNiceToPeople #BeBraveAndDrivenByPurpose #DontBeADick #PissOnPity #FistBumpsOnlyPLEASE #adventure #adventures #NewAdventures #AdventureIsCalling #InToTheWild #IAmNOTAnInspirationIAmJUSTLivingMyLife #superabled #IAmSuperabled (at Woodford Green, Redbridge, United Kingdom)

#HappyBirthday to the wonderful Cindy Gallop! 🎉 Hope you’re having an incredible day and that you have a brilliant year. ⭐️ Even though we have only known each other for a few years, I feel like I’ve known her forever. Not only is she one of the greatest active champions of diversity in all its forms, but she is also a friend. ⭐️ Let’s all wish her an awesome day too! ⭐️ Here’s a photo of us from last August of that magical evening when Cindy came for dinner, and when we shared good food with good conversations. ⭐️ Keep blowing sh*t up, Cindy! 🔥 ⭐️ Chat soon. 🙌🏽 ⭐️ [IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Sulaiman (wearing a white dress shirt) smiling sitting in his wheelchair next to Cindy (wearing a black dress) who is also smiling happily.]

#ThisAbility #intersectionality #sextech #socialsex #creativity #Disability #PWD #a11y | As my shero, Cindy Gallop, best said: “You will never own the future if you care what people think.” ‪—————————————‬ And following Cindy's wise-words and always loving growing through discomfort, I had a great chat today with Sarah Beall (Curator and Community Manager at @makelovenotporn). We had an excellent discussion, and it is fantastic we started this collaboration in #PrideMonth. ‪—————————————‬ It was a pleasure to talk to you, Sarah. I'm super excited to help you raise awareness through MakeDisabledLoveNotPorn about sex, sexuality, and disability–I'm delighted to be working together with you and the MLNP team too! ‪—————————————‬ ‪Also, it is vital for me to show my support (and solidarity) with all people from marginalised communities to engage with them (even if I may not agree with them), empathise and understand their story, and sharing positivity and love with everyone. Consistently. Always. This is how I grow through discomfort. Every single day. One breath at a time. ‬ ‪—————————————‬ ‪“#Love recognizes no barriers.
