Starting with small practices of advocacy at a very young age, Breanna Medcalfe, 21, is setting out on a journey to educate others and be a young voice for people with disability. Already making waves in medical alum by being a Health Consumer Disability Representative Advocate we were very lucky to have this time with her before her stratospheric launch into high profile advocacy! Moving from New Zealand to Australia after having a misdiagnosis. Breanna speaks to the support she’s been shown here in Australia including accessible events, horseback riding and mentoring from a previous ListenABLE favourite Dinesh Palipana. This episode also discusses the importance of a good support worker who in this case is happy to work the night shift in exchange for a good dance floor boogie. Chair users also stick around as Breanna has a trick to keep track of where your friends are when out on the town, and it's more simple then sending a text.  Watch this episode on our YouTube with captions: https://youtu.be/7fZwwK35gC8 Connect With Breanna on LinkedIn Here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/breanna-medcalfe-0975b3209 Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/breanna_medcalfe_advocate/ Join the 10,000+ legends on Instagram: @ListenABLE_ Podcast https://www.instagram.com/listenable_podcast/ Grab our first merch release at our website From Your Pocket https://fromyourpocket.com.au/work/listenable/merch Recorded, edited and produced by Angus' Podcast Company https://fromyourpocket.com.au/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
