ABOUT ME
I am Liesl, a bilingual English/German writer, consultant, disability activist and recent graduate of English Literature with Creative Writing (UEA, Norwich). I am also a person living with Cerebral Palsy and as such I am a on a mission to make the world a more accepting and accessible place for everyone.
Cerebral Palsy takes many different forms. For me, my muscles are stiff and there is often miscommunication between what I want them to do and the final result. My speech can be a bit difficult to understand and I am unable to walk unaided, so I use an electric wheelchair most of the time.
But in the end I am just another person, even if people frequently underestimate me because of the way I look, move and talk: From a person on the street staring at me, to people pitying me, to doctors speaking about, not with, me when I am in the room - I’ve experienced it all. So, in both, my private and professional life, I give guidance to people and organisations who want to make what they do and how they approach things as inclusive and free of disability prejudice as possible.
Have a look at this website about what I can do and have done, and the services I offer.
Best wishes
