'Advocacy makes me want to get out of bed every day'

Murrin's episode of HEnabled is out now! Listen on Sptify now by clicking here.

Episode info: Murrin is an EDI practictioner who specialises in sharing her lived experience as a person at the intersections of diability, race, gender, and sexuality. Her story is one that is less spoken about; Murrin left school at 16 and entered university via a Higher National Certificate (HNC) as a mature student, all while also managing multiple physical disabilities and undiagnosed neurodivergence. We also had a great time talking about accessibility for internships, eco-ableism, and Murrin's work as the former EDI officer at the Queen Margaret University Student Union. It's a great listen and I really reccommend checking it out wherever you get your podcasts :)

Time to see what's going on in the world of HEnabled this week! Last Sunday, I had Martin on the show. We talked about his experiences as a mature student with dyslexia who has completed five master's degrees at elite institutions all over the UK. It's a fantastic episode, you can listen to it here

Looking forward to this weekend, my friend Katharine will have their episode coming out! Katharine and I chatted about their experiences as an archaeological researcher on autism in the Palaeolithic era as a person with autism. Their episode will be out this Sunday (22nd June) wherever you get your podcasts. Listen to the show now

For this week's episode of HEnabled, I sat down with the wonderful Maddy to discuss their experience of Higher Education.

Maddy has been studying part-time for a BSc (Honours) in Computing & IT and Business at the Open University since 2019, after Idiopathic Intercranial Hypertension forced them to change their life's trajectory. During Maddy's studies, they acquired an ADHD diagnosis, which deepened their understanding of themselves.

Maddy's story is the perfect example of an unconventional higher education journey. You can listen to it on Spotify via the link below, or wherever you get your podcasts!

'You should normally hear back in 30 days for the outcome of your complaint. It took them 114 working days and two caseworkers to provide me with an outcome.' 🙃
