Changing perceptions through experience!
Will You Rise to the Challenge?
I believe that when we take the time to leave our comfort zones and step into a way of being that is very different from our own, it opens our perceptions to the experience of others' lives, thus deepening our understanding. That's where true and lasting learning begins. Bryony Grealish

Challenging Disability Beliefs Through the No Thumbs Experience

You've never experienced anything like this!
Beyond your typical disability training!
I dive deeper and use my experience with disability from my personal life and professional career in Social Work to craft an experience that truly speaks to all of us and who we are as people and the much-needed equity for people with disabilities.
The Fingerless Kitchen is more than my work; it is how I live my life every day. I find inspiration, experience success, and failure, and overcome my struggles to share joy, representation, and uplift my community by creating Abled Allies and giving hope to those who need it.
Following my purpose, I have created a keynote speech and workshop that is uniquely The Fingerless Kitchen.
