About Carrie’s Bench ~

Disabled from birth, I have moved around this world in an electric wheelchair. I have ‘sat’ and taken action to see doors open for people with disabilities, creating access for independence at work and in the community.

This bench will be a place where stories are shared. My stories and maybe yours!

Between the stories, I invite you to visit often. Reflect on a quote, discover a new book, or listen to a podcast shared because I was too intrigued to keep it to myself!

Welcome to my bench…
