"As my rosacea has worsened, I’ve become more anxious.
"Changing Faces' online group support, Peer Group Chat, taught me I'm much more than my appearance, and I loved meeting other people with visible differences with shared experiences."

Did you know Netflix has a searchable, genre of shows all disability related? This is one of several significant changes in television we explore with our podcast guests Nichola Garde and Allan MacKillop. Show out soon! #Netflix #RepresentationMatters #Disability
ALT Screen shot of a Netflix menu. It has the words celebrating disability with dimension and then perhaps 12 small boxes with images of TV shows such as Atypical, The Society, Special, Crip Camp. Some you can't read. It's a bright colour and busy image.
