A Message From Stella Young

On a maroon background, the text reads, “My disability exists not because I use a wheelchair, but because the broader environment isn’t accessible.” Underneath it, in a white area, there's a headshot of Stella Young and the text, "Comedian, journalist and activist." The A Life Worth Living logo sits in the bottom-right corner.

“My disability exists not because I use a wheelchair, but because the broader environment isn’t accessible.” – Stella Young

This quote is a powerful reminder that disability is not about ability but access.

Barriers aren’t always physical. They can be attitudes, systems, designs, or policies that exclude people from fully participating in everyday life.

At A Life Worth Living, we believe accessibility is not a favour – it’s a fundamental right. And it starts with rethinking how we build our spaces, shape our communities, and deliver our services.

Let’s stop asking people to adapt to the world and instead start building a world that works for everyone.
