Disabled entrepreneurs often speak of empowerment, community, and visibility. Many position themselves as champions for inclusion and mental health awareness. But what happens when these very individuals, your LinkedIn connections, your supposed allies, ignore your messages, dismiss your contributions, and ghost your professional outreach without so much as an acknowledgment?
Hate crime is a violation of human rights and a crime against the very values of equality, dignity, and respect. It tears communities apart and leaves victims in emotional ruins. Society must come together to condemn hate, strengthen the law, and support victims. Most importantly, we must remember that diversity is our strength, and no one should be made to feel unsafe for simply being who they are.
Though trauma may never fully disappear, it can transform into strength. By understanding its roots, recognising how it impacts the mind and body, and gently working toward recovery, survivors can reclaim their lives. The editor is a testament to this.

Trauma is the emotional and psychological response to an event—or series of events—that overwhelms a person’s ability to cope.

Trauma can stem from a one-time incident like an accident or loss, or from long-term experiences like abuse, neglect, or living in constant fear.
No one should have to “prove” their trauma, but the benefits system often requires detailed explanations. If trauma makes daily living harder, you deserve support. And always remember—your condition is valid even if it’s not visible. If someone hasn’t walked in your shoes, they shouldn’t judge how far you’ve come.
Trauma is a deeply distressing or disturbing experience that overwhelms a person’s ability to cope. It can stem from a one-time event or a series of ongoing circumstances and often results in long-lasting psychological effects. Trauma reshapes how a person sees the world, interacts with others, and processes emotions.
Intrusive thoughts are not always reflections of reality — they are often a distorted mirror shaped by trauma, fear, or self-doubt. While they may not vanish overnight, there are tools to weaken their grip. For Elena, simply validating her emotions, taking structured study breaks, and shifting her attention to writing articles about justice helped her reclaim peace.

Harassment refers to repeated, unwanted behavior that causes alarm or distress. This can include threatening messages, abusive phone calls, or unwelcome visits. Stalking goes a step further—it’s a pattern of fixated and obsessive behavior that causes someone to feel fearful or anxious. It can include following someone, monitoring their movements, or contacting them despite being asked to stop.
