• Its really important to keep raising the standard of achievement within the existing community, to encourage people with physical or mental differences to set higher goals and expectations there is no reason not to. Also such public events  delivery a visibility to the mainstream media that help demystified current perception and create a new language in the media that is much more modern and normalised.

• I am very humbled to be asked to perform at the opening event. I care deeply about rebranding what i feel is a misunderstood social issue. I hope with my music performance i can show another perception to having a different body and how with the aid of technology and fashion it no longer needs to be a forbidden subject or a negative subject and that the strength and beauty comes from our ideas and human spirit. I think its time people start being evaluated on their multiple qualities their intellect, talent, their care for other people and not just the physical body.. its time for the modern attitude of equality to be put to work.”
