This week, I'm joined by Carly Findlay, an award-winning writer, speaker and appearance activist. An outspoken advocate, Carly writes on disability and appearance diversity issues. As a person living with ichthyosis, she shares her experiences navigating a world that doesn't always embrace differences.  In this chat, I spoke to Carly about her experiences as a proud disabled woman, living with ichthyosis, why media depictions of people with facial differences and disabilities matter and how in a world that puts so much stock in physical appearance, she has powerfully defined her own identity, self-confidence and power.  You can follow Carly on @carlyfindlay on Instagram and read a transcript of this chat here: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/4dntnnn2gnps97sk0eynz/TMTS-TRANSCRIPT-CARLY.docx?rlkey=xjvwpot8qwsjo6y87fknkluej&dl=0 You can follow Maria on @mariathattil.

Being asked intrusive questions about your sex life or being denied a ride in a taxi is an experience lots of people will never have to endure. But for Carly Findlay, appearance advocate and author, and others with a facial difference, these instances of discrimination are part of everyday life. But Carly Findlay has GUTS, and she uses these experiences to fight for change. She tells Turia of the uncomfortable ABC interview that went viral on twitter, and the time she took on a taxi company who refused her service, making it all the way to the high commision.  You can find Carly on instagram @CarlyFindlay, or head to her website carlyfindlay.com.

Carly Findlay, appearance advocate and author, doesn't know why people expect her not to love herself, because she does - unconditionally. It's this type of thinking that's driven Carly to do the work she does advocating for face equality and increasing the visibility of those with a facial difference; because respect and love shouldn't be determined by how you look. She tells Turia why the fight for face equality is needed, the assumptions people make about her disability, and how she moves past harmful beauty standards.  You can find Carly on instagram @CarlyFindlay, or head to her website carlyfindlay.com.

* CONTENT WARNING: This episode mentions violence, online abuse, suicide, disability hate speech/hate crime * Carly Findlay is a writer, speaker, influencer and appearance activist, and someone who dedicates a lot of her time educating others on a number of disability-related issues. Carly was born with ichthyosis, a rare genetic disorder that affects the skin, eyes, ears, digestive system, temperature and metabolism. Living with ichthyosis comes with many challenges, however one that Carly unfortunately has to live with daily is the shocking bullying that she faces both in person and online. In today's episode, she generously shares some of her experiences and how she has dealt with the comments, stares, and unsolicited advice regularly given to her. Carly also educates us on how we can better approach the topic of disability and how we can be more inclusive as a society and in the media to make sure everyone is represented and treated fairly. She also gives some beautiful and helpful advice to anyone who may need a little reminder to feel comfortable and confident in their own skin, which is something we're extremely passionate about at Kic. Check out Carly's books ‘Say Hello' and ‘Growing Up Disabled in Australia'.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ohhh we're nervous for this one! We know that RJ Palacio's 2012 book Wonder and Stephen Chbosky's 2017 film adaptation have a lot of devoted fans and while we're able to acknowledge the light it has shone on disability, we have some pretty major reservations about the storytelling (in the book) and the casting (in the film). From Palacio's inspiration for the story (and the creation of her Wonder mini-empire) to Auggie's perfection to the fear of acknowledging that this is disability to the inspiration porn of it all. Plus: why is Via the most interesting character? Why is class, race and queer sidelined? Why were disabled actors auditioned if the role went to an able-bodied actor?

Carly Findlay is an author and appearance activist who lives with a rare skin condition called ichthyosis, which makes her skin scaly and red.  What this means is that Carly has to put up with a lot of silly, inappropriate and downright rude questions from strangers.  In this chat with Jamila Rizvi, Carly explains what it's like to be trolled for how you look, how she's coped with ableism during the pandemic, and why she sees disability as a culture to be proud of.  THE WEEKEND LIST: Read: Killernova by Omar bin Musa Read: The Game: A Portrait of Scott Morrison by Sean Kelly Watch: James Bond films Watch: Snowpiercer (Netflix) See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I remember doing a project during the first year of high school, called "Someone You Ought to Know"…well, my next guest fits that brief exactly, because Carly Findlay is certainly someone you ought to know – that’s if you don’t know her already! Recently awarded the Order of Australia Medal for service to people with a disability, Carly is also a writer, author, appearance activist and lover of brightly coloured clothes, a quirky broach and her signature roller skates! Carly was born with a rare skin condition, ichthyosis, and as she grew up in a small town with largely small minded people, was outcast in her community and in some circumstances people talked about as if she was not even human or certainly not in the room (when she was) – all because of the colour of her red skin. Thankfully through the advent of the internet and her frequent trips to Melbourne to visit the hospital, Carly discovered there was a different world out there beyond the town she grew up in, but it took her some time to feel comfortable in her own skin and she was often busy making others feel comfortable around her and found herself always apologising for her appearance and skin. It wasn’t until her early twenties that Carly first identified as disabled, she also found her community of like-minded and supportive people and has since gone onto becoming a voice for disabled people who are still very much marginalised and underrepresented in the media. This chat with Carly is one of self-discovery to becoming unapologetically you. It’s a really important chat that I hope you find valuable because what Carly stands for is something we can all benefit from listening to. I hope you enjoy! Key Themes and Takeaways The difficulty growing up in a rural community with a lack of diversity and tolerance for difference and acceptance of people of colour or with a disability Disability education, what terms, abelism, internalised abelism and the term "inspiration porn" mean Finding support and identity within the disabled community Stopping shame of being disabled and stop apologising for being you and stop apologising for the body you are in Fandom and why disabled people experience fandom Disability representation in the media and how that could change Finding your voice and putting it to good use to support others Warning some explicit language is used in this podcast episode.

Although one in five Australians live with disability, people with disabilities remain under-represented in our literature. Growing Up Disabled in Australia is an urgent anthology of first-person stories described by The Sydney Morning Herald as “gripping the reader by the collar while pulling the rug out from under their feet”. Hear from four of the collection's contributors – Fiona Murphy, Alistair Baldwin, Gayle Kennedy and Belinda Downes – as they speak with its editor, Carly Findlay, about navigating disability and what it means to be regarded as ‘different'.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hello, my friends and welcome to episode two of what's shaping up to be a season of collective wisdom about finding courage in the face of adversity. And my guest this week is no stranger to that idea. Phyllida Swift is now the chief exec of Face Equality International, a role she stepped into after the untimely death of her predecessor and founder of the organisation Dr. James Partridge, James very sadly died in August last year and Phyllida has asked that this episode pay tribute to the incredible man that he was and to his life changing work as the pioneer behind the facial equality movement. James founded the charity Changing Faces after he suffered severe burns to his face as a teenager and went on to set up Face Equality International back in 2018, to unite organisations fighting for facial equality globally as he understood the power of the collective to really have an impact. He worked tirelessly right up until his death, helping people with facial differences to deal with the daily challenges they encounter, and to change the attitudes and prejudices of the world towards them. Our sincere condolences go to his wife, Carrie, his children and grandchildren and the many, many people who like Phyllida were so sorry to have to say goodbye to such a caring and compassionate friend. This week is facial equality week, and there couldn't be a more fitting time to honour James and the legacy that was his life's work.   Face Equality International - https://faceequalityinternational.org/   @FaceEqualityInt   Phyllida Swift TEDx Talk "I'll give you something to stare at" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qydFBmtOUEk   'Say Hello' by Carly Findlay -https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1460755030/ref=x_gr_w_bb_sout?ie=UTF8&tag=x_gr_w_bb_sout_uk-21&linkCode=as2&camp=1634&creative=6738   Song:  ‘You Oughta  Know' by Alanis Morisette - https://open.spotify.com/track/3jS7bB0oXVOwGFZn3aE5NV?si=5caa2d8b34c244f4   Wisdom: “The less you can compare yourself to others the better.”

Accessibility is often taken for granted by people who are not disabled. Everyday situations like shopping, catching transport, accessing public bathrooms, using the internet can be extremely challenging for those who have a disability. Disability is so individual, and so misunderstood, and our world does not do well at accepting, accommodating and including individuals who are disabled. We need to do better. My guest today is the amazing Carly Findlay, an award winning writer, speaker and appearance activist. Carly is the editor of Growing Up Disabled in Australia, an anthology of stories written by disabled Australians and published this week by Black Inc Books. Carly is also the author of Say Hello, published in 2019. She writes regularly for CNN, ABC, The Age, The Sydney Morning Herald and SBS and appears regularly on television and radio.

What does it mean to be an 'appearance activist'? Mellissa Kavenagh from the Centre of Research Excellence in Disability and Health meets Australian writer Carly Findlay. Carly is a passionate advocate for disability rights, with her activism reducing disability-related complaints in Melbourne's taxi services. Carly shows fearless determination in calling out discriminatory behaviours, but also raises the personal cost of being an advocate; the double-edge sword that is social media and the challenges and the expectations of speaking on behalf of marginalised groups.
