She is holding a newspaper which shows a photograph of her and reads ‘Imali in a stoma bag request to Barbie Makers’. She is smiling.(Hashtags)

  • I've collected over 100+ Barbies throughout my life, but I've never seen one that reflects my experience of living with a stoma. This World Ostomy Day, I'm calling on Mattel to change that 💖VD: A wall of Barbies in Imali's flat. She keeps showing different dolls up close in their boxes and then at the end it cuts to her, stood in front of her Barbies with her stoma on show. She has a pink bag cover on and a light pink top.

  • Taylor said Paris, I heard Disneyland. Close enough, right?VD: A white woman, with brown hair which is half up and half town in a sort of Mickey Mouse style, wearing a red gingham top. She is covered in glitter, and filming in selfie mode whilst sitting in her wheelchair. She pans around half way through the video, to show the legendary pink castle at Disneyland Paris. She's lip syncing to a Taylor Swift song.

  • Take this post as your reminder that disabled people live full lives outside of their health and disabilities. 💗Inspired by @babeswithmobilityaids and @sophjbutlerVD: Various split screen images of Imali - varying from when I was younger, to when I was ill, when I used to wear my pink wig because of my hair loss and more. The lower pictures are a reel of better moments, at Disney, Scope awards, etc. Each has a comparison of something someone might say vs what I want them to say. The final graphic highlights that disabled people can be multi-faceted.
