ABOUT ME

2000

I was born with no fingers on my left hand, and so I struggled to find confidence for the majority of my life. As a child, my mum put me into acting, dancing and gymnastic clubs to encourage my development, yet, I still accepted that I was less than those around me due to my disability. Growing up in this world, I never saw models on the runway, celebrities on the red carpet, actors in movies or creators online who looked like me. Our view of beauty is led by the examples we are set by society in all areas of our culture.

How should it feel when society tells you that it rejects your body, and that the beauty standard is not you?

I didn't allow myself to chase acting jobs because "they won't want to have my hand take away from the character or storyline, they won't want to write it in", or chase being a model because "they won't want my hand preventing sales as I'm undesirable." Not even posting my content openly because "everyone will just make fun of me."

2025

Fast forward to today, I am proud to be the confident, creative and content person my little younger self would be proud of. My focus is on empowering a more inclusive world through going above and beyond to deliver results. After stumbling onto the opportunity presented by social media while studying for my business degree in 2020, I have single-handedly grown an audience of over 500,000. I am dedicated to normalising disability and creating an inclusive space where people who feel different can find humour, connection and representation. In 2024 alone, I presented the IFTA's Red Carpet, was a runner-up for Tiktok's Voice for Change award and contributed to BBC, RTE and UTV. Passionate about driving positive change, I leverage every platform available to amplify the voices of those who are often underrepresented in society.

For me, social media isn't just a tool to make an income. Social media is an incredible power that can be utilised, and for the past 5 years, I have learned everything I can to maximise my impact, knowledge and skills into not only navigating it, but influencing it.

MY MISSION

We need a change, and I want to create change by encouraging disability normalisation in society, through making people smile and working my little nubs off.

I implement my philanthropic goals into every aspect of my life. Representing people who are different, creating avenues for people to discover how truly able they are and seeking out better efforts by brands to be diverse and inclusive.

Disability is still underrepresented despite around 20% of people having a disability, we are poorly represented in all areas of society despite having the purple pound. My experience as disabled creator has taught me that so many people out there still feel like they can’t love themselves due to feeling unattractive, alone and incomplete.

WE MUST ACT.

DIVERSITY. HUMOUR. INDIA SASHA.

Being kind and unapologetically you is the only way to live.
