Meet Disability Activist and Author Hannah Diviney
Wed 25 October at 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
FREE
Hannah Diviney has always wanted to be a writer and she always thought this would mean telling other peoples stories. As it turns out she needed to tell her own story first. I’ll Let Myself In is Hannah’s attempt at figuring out what it’s meant to come of age as a disabled woman in a world not built for her.
I’ll Let Myself In was written as a counter to the challenges she’s experienced since childhood, left behind by never seeing herself (or anyone like her) represented anywhere. Not in movies or television. Not in books or games, or in the toys kids could eagerly pluck off shelves. I’ll Let Myself In is a deeply personal essay collection that unpacks what it has meant for Hannah to grow up in a world where people like her weren’t relevant or seen.
She’s had to navigate medical trauma, internalised ableism, inaccessibility, and the long-lasting impacts of limited representation. Beyond that, this is about finding her voice socially and politically. It’s almost a journal in real time of a twenty-something woman coming to terms with all of she is – the good, the bad and the ugly bits. This is Hannah’s heart in ink on paper (sprinkled with pop culture references).
