For Dr. Grace Spence Green, radical acceptance isn't about overcoming disability – it's about embracing everything that comes with it.
As a doctor, disability activist, and now author, Grace draws on "active hope" – a concept from @mikaelaloach's 'It's Not That Radical' – to question why things have to stay the same and drive meaningful change.
Her book 'To Exist as I Am: A Doctor's Notes on Recovery and Radical Acceptance' is out today ✨

[Alt text: We're watching a video of Grace speaking directly to the camera in our Reading Room – a nice, cosy, space with books, lounge chairs and bean bags. She has long brown hair and wears red lipstick, round yellow glasses, and a sweater-vest-shirt combo. She is sitting in her wheel chair with one leg crossed over the opposite knee.]
