Izzie is a journalist and is using her lived experience as a young woman with cystic fibrosis to combat ableism through her writing.
In this conversation we discuss how her chronic health condition, cystic fibrosis affects her daily life and how she manages her healthcare routine with work.
Then we move on to what ableism is, the subtleties of it as well as the directness and where it can occur, such as on public transport and in the workplace. Izzie shares with us her ideas around how to eradicate it from society.
