DISABILITY advocate Jax Jacki Brown will be speaking at the Surf Coast Shire’s Council Chambers for International Day of People with Disability next week.<\/p>\n

\n

The free community event on December 5 will also feature all abilities band The Rockheads and lunch by dal Catering, who provide training and employment opportunities for people with a disability.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

A recently appointed member of the Victorian Disability Advisory Council, Ms Brown is a prominent disability and queer rights activist.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

She said she found the motivation for her advocacy in knowing how she lacked someone to look towards in her youth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“I didn’t really know anyone who was queer and had a disability, not even in the media, so I didn’t know how my future might look as a queer, disabled person.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“When I feel nervous about talking at events, I always think about that young person I once was who didn’t have someone talking about these experiences, and how great it would have been.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Ms Burke said there were many obstacles to people with disabilities that could be easily overlooked.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“Often people will see the accessible sign on a bus or a tram or a building and think it’s okay, but people don’t realise there are still many barriers, and that we can’t access many things people take for granted.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“When I moved to Melbourne, I got onto a tram in the middle of the city and I thought I had the opportunity to go where everyone else was going. But they don’t all have accessible stops. So I can get onto trams, but I can’t always get off.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Shire mayor Rose Hodge said Ms Brown’s talk would be a fantastic event and encouraged people to come along.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“By being there, you can help create an inclusive community where everyone can participate and contribute.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“I’m excited to hear from Jax, rock out to The Rockheads and support dal Catering.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The event will run from noon-2pm. To learn more, head to scsidpwd2019.eventbrite.com.au<\/a>.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
