Originally from Bolivar, Tennessee.

I suppose it depends on the person. I’ve been viewed as helpless, as incredibly strong. I have been made fun of, and celebrated. I tend not to pay much mind to it.

Most of the time, especially if the venue is smaller.

There was a standing room only venue I saw a band at. As soon as I got tired, I went to the merch tables, explained, and they found me a seat.

I was young, and I moved out of my seat just to be able to walk around to stop my legs aching. [The venue] immediately made me go back to my seat, without letting me give an explanation.

I wish venues understood that music is universal, but wellness is not. Be more inclusive in seating, in some folks needing to get up and move around. Just in general making a more comfortable experience.

I just want people to know that even though I don’t “look disabled” I am. My entire thing is trying to tell people to be more cognizant of their own strengths, but to not assume everyone has the same abilities that they do. To just be aware that everyone has something they struggle with. If I need to sit down, don’t assume it’s because I’m bored or lazy. To just realize that nothing is easy for everyone. As cliche as it sounds, it’s the honest truth.

I listen to everything from rap to some alt country. It depends on the mood and the day.
