Mermaid Creation Camp for Disabled Femme Momma
Donazione protetta
HELP ME BECOME THE MERPERSON OF MY DREAMS
I am thrilled that I've managed to score a dream opportunity- Fat Mermaid Creation Camp . It will be a long weekend of hanging with other fat babes, creating art and convening on body positivity regardless of size or health status.
As many of you know, I have been disabled for a few years now. It turns out that my whole life I've had a rare genetic disease that has worn down my already lax connective tissue. My muscles have to work overtime to support my bones and joints- so they are often strained and tight, or mis-fire inappropriately, or clench when they should release. The years of pain without a diagnosis has had lasting complications on my nervous system as well. It's a collagen problem, so it effects all of my body systems and tissues.
That has meant huge adjustments in how I see my future.
My aspirations, goals, and possibilities have changed. My relationship with my body has changed. My relationship to traditional wage-earning and work has changed.
One of the ways I'm working towards greeting those changes whole-heartedly and with curious disposition is exercise! Fat Kid Dance Party is something that I have always wanted to try out and see if it would be a right fit for me. I've watched the project as Bevin launched it a few years ago and this year, she's starting to do certifications for trainers on it! I want to explore if this is something that I: like, can do, can help others with, and can maybe get trained in.
Another way I'm changing my perspective is as a creative, artistic person. Many of you know that I've taken up sculpture, recently had my first poetry published, and have been exploring photography and modeling. These endeavors make my life worth living - they help me process, to share, to learn. I want to explore how to turn that fundamental need to create into a source of income for myself and my family.
I want to bring these things together and officially launch a business this year, but to make that happen I need a lot of insight from others and time to consider things outside of the c h a o s that is being the parent of a toddler.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that I can't wait to share with you, my beloved friends, family, and community. Thank you for your support!
