Enjoy this fabulous conversation!
Jake Lindsay is a 21 year old disability awareness and acceptance ambassador, equal rights for all activist and all round absolute legend.
Jake is a very new and dear friend to me after Jake reached out to me on social media after seeing my slot on stage at the Lowry, where he is a volunteer, during the High Performance podcast live tour, July 2023.
Jake is one of life’s absolute rays of sunshine and someone with wisdom, heart and authenticity running through his veins. Jake’s advocacy is truly heart warming and how he raises awareness for his community is invaluable.
Jakes shares with us his story of how Jake Lindsay Studios came to be and how it became a positive focus during lockdown.
Jake generously opens up about the difficulties of being neurodivergent in a neurotypical world and speaks to us directly about what we can do as allies to support and arm ourselves with knowledge.
Jake shares with us how he has managed to build his confidence through some of the incredible drama groups available to him in both Warrington and at the Lowry and how that ultimately led to his volunteering at the theatre, something his 13 year old self could never have envisaged him doing!
Jake has an incredible wealth of knowledge, he is well researched, has a wonderful support system in some of his friends and family, special mention to his incredible parents who I am sure are bursting with pride to have a son like Jake.
If all 21 years olds were like Jake, the world would be A-OK!!!
What a shining example of how no matter what life throws at you and how quote unquote ‘different’ you are to the quote unquote ‘norm’ (what the hell does that even mean?!) You are special, worthy and perfect and you can make such a difference if you lead with your heart, with service and with purpose.
Thanks for teaching us Jake.
