'Disability Doesn't Define Me' // With Journalist Michael McEwan

Here’s a wee bit of information about Michael. He’s a Scottish journalist and broadcaster who has a long list of notable achievements in his field. He’s written for The Scotsman, the Times, The National and The Barrhead News…

He’s featured frequently on BBC Scotland and BBC Radio Scotland, producing a notable documentary for the latter…

And he even created a short film back in 2009, that went on to receive critical acclaim and awards nominations.

He also has cerebral palsy.

You’ll get a good idea about Michael as a man, as a professional, how he sees the world, and how the world sometimes sees him. This isn’t a sob story, it’s absolutely anything but.

This is a story of someone who’s had his challenges and has faced up to them, and proved the point that disability is a label that we should all see beyond, and that people deserve to be seen beyond. There’s a very fine line between admiring someone and patronising them, but I’m in complete admiration of Michael’s tenacity, ambition and ability. A self taught self-starter who has carved his own space in a very competitive, and often ruthless, industry.
