Disability Is My Strength

What happens when the world repeatedly tells you what you cannot do, but something inside you keeps saying, "I know I can"?

Born with spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy, Vicki Wilson has spent a lifetime confronting assumptions about disability, independence and what her future should look like.

From mainstream school and university to a 20-year career within HMRC, a life-changing broken hip, redundancy and the creation of her award-winning business, Vicki Admin Fairy®, Vicki has refused to live according to the limits placed upon her by other people.

But this is not a story about "overcoming" disability, nor is it a polished tale in which determination magically removes every barrier. It is an honest, funny and sometimes infuriating account of finding another way, demanding better, protecting independence and turning a considerable amount of Vicki stubbornness into strength.

Disability Is My Strength challenges how we think about ability, possibility and success. It is for anyone who has ever been underestimated and anyone ready to see disability without pity, stereotypes or lowered expectations.

A life built without limits, labels or permission.

"The book feels like a friend telling you their life story. Not a stranger. A friend."

"She doesn't just 'do well for someone with CP', she does more with her time, life and business than most of us ever manage."
