Willow’s Illustration- Self Care

Willow (she/her) Posted by Willow (she/her) 1 min read

This artwork shows different ways someone takes care of their mental and emotional well-being. It includes activities like stimming (repetitive movements or sounds that can be soothing), spending quiet time alone, engaging in hobbies like music and gaming, spending time with their dog, talking with others, and being with family. These are all shown as part of self-care—things that help a person feel good, safe, and recharged.

This is an illustration from Willow on how she practices self-care.

Willow is a disabled and neurodivergent person working in the disability advocacy space. She has a degree in primary education studies and arts, and a certificate in training and assessment. She is currently studying a postgraduate degree in speech pathology. 

Through her own lived and professional experience, Willow is aware of how challenging it can be to speak up for yourself, especially within a complex system such as the NDIS. She hopes to contribute to clarifying these processes and the rights of disabled young people through this project.

This image celebrates Disability Pride by showing a diverse group of disabled people confidently expressing their identities. The group includes individuals with various disabilities—some using wheelchairs, prosthetic limbs, walkers, or accompanied by a guide dog. They are all smiling and holding signs with empowering messages like “Disabled and Proud,” “Chronic & Iconic,” and “Disability Pride.”
