“...we really need more representation of this so we can smash these attitudes for all disabilities.”

Peta Hooke interviews Zoe, a disabled journalist, copyright, author and public speaker. Zoe is a passionate advocate fighting against ableism and removing the stigma. She discusses attitudinal barriers and how someone may have a disability that is not visible, but their reactions are, and we should pay attention to this. 

Although Zoe is yet to receive appropriate support wearing the Sunflower, she believes it can benefit many people like her with greater public awareness.

The Sunflower Conversations is a Podcast where we explore the experiences of people living with hidden disabilities and what the Sunflower means to them. It’s a space to share your experience and to empower and encourage more people to support invisible disabilities.
