POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

There's a moment every Trekinetic rider knows, going where they want to, for the first time in a long time.

That moment is disability pride.

Disability Pride Month belongs to every kind of disability, visible and invisible, physical and neurological, permanent and evolving. It belongs to every person who's had to fight for access, for understanding, for the simple right to move through the world on their own terms.

Here's a collection of Trekinetic users who've had that moment, and kept chasing the next one.

We don't build wheelchairs to help people cope. We build them to help people go further, push harder, and live loud.

This month, we're honouring the riders, the routes, and the resilience it took to get here and every disabled person, everywhere, writing their own version of this story.

Keep going further. 💛

July is Disability Pride Month so before the month is out I wanted to just shout out some awesome content creators on here who are raising awareness around living with Disabilities & Chronic Illnesses

@thechronic_explorer @itsaliceella @iamisaacharvey @rubyrouxbijou @disabled.adventurer

Go check them out and drop them all a follow if you haven't already.

Anyone you think I've missed of here? There's so many awesome content creators I could mention so I will do another of these posts before Disability Pride Month is finished

This post is, in reality, a love letter to the incredible disabled fashion community.
.
Thank you so much to the incredible @annieelainey @littlepineneedle @rollinfunky @georginagrogan_ @michelle_roger @adisabledicon @shelbykinsxo @rubyrouxbijou @janmort3000 @reunitedwithtime @brightonbacall @lunajay_r & @val_and.co for allowing me to include you in this post & to every single person who puts the time & energy into showing up fabulously, authentically, honestly online. What you do touches so many people you will never even meet & has changed the world. I am so proud to be in this space with all of you.
.
I have put a more accessible version of this post with full image descriptions of every photo on my old blog (it’s at the top of my linktree), there just isn’t enough space on here unfortunately.

[image description, slide 1: A photo of a flat lay of a lavender themed outfit with a sheer purple overlay & then text on two torn white pieces of paper. Text reads “How I found my style as a wheelchair user - or how the disability community helped me find my style (& importantly, my confidence)” “Easier to read version, with full image descriptions, on www.wheelingalong24.com”]
Slides 2-11 have a background of muted pink lined paper covered with pressed flowers. There are photos & text on top of this in a collage style.
[slide 2 reads: @pip.the.hobbit (of @foxesandravens who make THE coolest leather accessories with fantasy vibes) tagged me in the comments of a @refashionedhippie post.
Someone had written in to ask for a reel with advice on wheelchair fashion & @refashionedhippie was struggling to find helpful information which reminded me SO much of me in 2012 when I was struggling so much to find the advice I needed as a new wheelchair user.]

Happy Disability Pride Month! 🎉

Every July, Disabled people around the world come together to celebrate our identities, communities, achievements, and the progress made through disability rights movements.

Disability Pride isn't about pretending disability is easy. It's about recognising that being Disabled is nothing to be ashamed of, and that Disabled people deserve to be seen, valued, and included.

Whether you're Disabled yourself or want to learn more, this month is a great opportunity to listen to Disabled voices, challenge assumptions, and celebrate the diversity of our community.

What does Disability Pride mean to you? 💙👇

A Disability Pride flag appears across one corner of the collage. Overlayed text reads: “Disability isn't something to overcome. It's something to celebrate. Welcome to Disability Pride Month. If you've never heard of it, keep reading!”

She wears a voluminous green tulle skirt paired with a shimmering pink and gold bodice. Rue uses a wheelchair and a pink cane throughout the video, posing confidently and discussing how fashion empowers her creative expression and visibility.

To the women who go first.

Who question expectations.

Who roll anyway.

Who quietly (or loudly) redefine what mobility looks like.

For 115 years, International Women’s Day has honored the strength of women everywhere.

And we’re right here with you.

Cheering you on. 💜
