It seems almost impossible that people from all over the world convened in Belgium to create new work in just over a week, but that was exactly what we accomplished at ChampdAction.LAbO 2019.

Understanding that rejection is part and parcel of the industry, and that people may hold prejudices against her disability, she is nonetheless positive about her future. She looks forward to helping marginalised individuals find voice and acceptance within society.
