My Trip To Granville Beach

I just wanted to share these pictures with you.

Where Is My President?

I don't know how it works in other parts of the world but if you are silent for too long in Trinidad and Tobago people tend to forget and neglect you. With that said, can someone please tell the president of the Trinidad and Tobago chapter of Disabled People's International to make him or herself visible to the public and get in the government's face so they will not forget and neglect the differently abled community.

My Wish List

Well yesterday was election day in my beautiful country of Trinidad and Tobago and we had a change in government. I just hope that this new government will address the issues of public buildings not being wheelchair accessible, an improved public transportation system so the differently abled can get around with ease, more jobs for the differently abled and every school having an assistant or two to assist the differently abled students instead of having students with minor disabilities in 'special schools.'

A Mother's Worth

Mother's day, like all the other days that we celebrate each year, we celebrate just because we were told to. I don't agree with the notion that says that I should buy my mother a gift just because it's the second Sunday in May... Come on, why should we honour someone that is so precious to us once a year?

I'm Right Here

There are a few things that people do that really annoy me and one of those things is when people stand in front of me and talk about me like I'm not hearing what they are saying. Some people think that just because I'm in a wheelchair I'm deaf or I just can't comprehend what they say but I have news for them, I can!!!

Safe Sex

Maybe it's just me but I have never seen anything on the television channels nor have I heard anything on the radio stations telling Differently Abled people to practice safe sex. I have never heard of anyone going into a 'special school' to educate the young Differently Abled men/women on having safe sex. And yes Differently Abled people do have sex!

An Independent Mind

I don't allow anyone to control me and tell me what I should and/or should not do but I do take advice from people. Some people need to understand that Differently Abled people are not robots who you can program to do what you want them to. Every Differently Abled person has a unique way of thinking therefore you should not treat one Differently Abled person the same way that you would treat another.
