My name is Rachael, and I am the founder of Wheelie MS Advocate, a platform that was born out of my original blog, Accessible Rach.
I am here to show that overcoming challenges doesn't have to feel like an uphill struggle.
Together, we can embrace diversity, share our experiences, and support one another in advocating for a more inclusive world.
I firmly believe that your voice matters, and I am here to amplify it.
Join me as we work towards a society where everyone feels valued and included. Together, we can make a difference.
I Reported Online Disability Hate. The Police Said They Couldn’t Help.
🛑 Content Warning: Online Abuse, Ableism, Disability SlursThis video contains references to ableist language, online hate, and the failure of systems to protect disabled people. Please take care while watching.🎙️ This is a spoken word piece from my podcast Wheelie MS Advocate. It’s about what it feels like to live through constant digital ableism, on TikTok, X (formerly Twitter), and beyond.📍 Despite reporting the hate to the police, I was told nothing could be done. Why? Because the people abusing me aren’t in the UK.💬 But the abuse still landed here. On my screen. In my body. In my life.🧠 We are disabled — not stupid.We’ve had careers, built lives, and we still work — even when it breaks us.We don’t need more “coping tips.”We need protection. Real, global, legal protection.✊🏽 Stop calling us strong if you won’t stand with us.—🔗 Read the full blog post:👉 Wheelie MS Advocate (https://wheeliemsadvocate.co.uk)📲 Follow me:TikTok: @wheelieMSadvocate_X/Twitter: @wheelieFUMSInstagram: @wheelieMSadvocate📧 Want to work with me or support my content?Visit: About me (https://wheeliemsadvocate.co.uk/about-me/)#DisabilityAdvocate #Ableism #HateCrime #OnlineAbuse #WheelieMSAdvocate #DisabledAndProud #AmbulatoryWheelchairUser #SpokenWord

The Truth Behind the “Better Off on Benefits” Lie | Disabled Voices Fighting Back
“Disabled people are better off on benefits.”
That’s what the Daily Mail claims — again. But what’s the real cost of headlines like this?
In this solo episode of Wheelie MS Advocate, I share my lived experience as a disabled person on Universal Credit and PIP.
From public judgement to online abuse, from policy decisions to being labelled a “#SickFluencer,” this is what it really feels like to be the scapegoat in a political game.
🎧 Topics covered in this episode:
How headlines fuel stigma and hate
Why “sickfluencers” isn’t a term we chose
The reality of living on PIP and UC
GPs being told to send sick patients to the gym
What real resistance looks like in a hostile system
🧠 If you’ve felt dehumanised, dismissed, or disbelieved — you’re not alone.
