Jay on Life

Jay on Life My musings on life as a disabled black woman who really enjoys solo travel. It features her thoughts on how other place compare to her home of London.

Jayonlife focuses on the different countries and cities Jay has visited, and the different attractions available to travellers. Both in terms of accessibility and the attitudes of the people towards disability as a whole. It also includes her thoughts on topics that affect disabled people at home and abroad.

The research study titled: "Unseen, Unreported, Unprotected: Disabled Black African/Caribbean and South Asian women’s experiences of domestic violence and abuse in England" is looking for respondents to participate in this very important piece of research.

From the participant information sheet - "Research has found that disabled women experience two times more violence than women who are not disabled. We also know that if a woman is from ethnic minority background she is more likely to experience violence. This shows a link between disability and violence on one hand, and ethnicity and violence on the other. But what we don’t know much about is how a woman who is both disabled and from ethnic minority group experience domestic violence and abuse (DVA) and the support they need."

Please share this research invitation widely through your networks. If you have any questions or would like to know more, please contact Dr Maria Turda on 07735505604 or email her at [email protected]. Or if you prefer, you may contact us and request that we pass your information onto Dr Turda to contact you.

I’ve been a part of a press trip sponsored by in . I’ve met some wonderful folks who do all things accessible travel. If we’re trying to make the world of travel as inclusive as possible, then disabled people need to be at the heart of that. Disability cuts across everything, so accessibility must be baked into everything we do. Loving the trip thus far and having such a great time. and have the right idea. Here’s to more life and greater accessibility!

As we excitedly announced on our IG live on Sunday, the fabulous TC duo will be headlining live show at the ShoutOut podcast festival on Saturday 18th May! ⠀ ⠀ Kym & Jay had a wonderful experience at last year’s event learning about everything that goes into making an impactful podcast. ⠀ ⠀ This festival is especially important because it is dedicated to highlighting why “Content is Queen”. This is definitely not one to be missed! You’ll get to learn so much, and experience the magic that goes into making an episode of Triple Cripples! ⠀ ⠀ Having two disabled Black women at centre stage like this sends a very strong message. Thanks so much to the wonderful .LDN team & for this space. ⠀ ⠀ TC is here to push forward the experiences of those in the margins of the margins. And we’re doing this in front of screens and microphones! ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ Hope to see lots of you there! 👸🏾 👸🏾 ⠀ ⠀ http://bit.ly/2IW8JT1
