“Yes , there are blogs and there are people who write about disabilities, but what we want is to provide information in a simpler, digestible, faster and more appropriate way, to a broader community. What we want to seduce informatively so that they come closer to those stories of disability, since it is in all of our interests to live in an inclusive society, because you do not know when a disability can be acquired, considering that in the last years of our lives we will live with some disability, and that is not a tragedy, the tragedy is exclusion and discrimination, which are fought with education and information ,” he explained.
