Allyship Advice?
Hi, I wanted to get some advice!
Im a young adult with multiple disabilities, living in Australia.
My grandmother is an amazing person she helps me a lot on a day to day basis.
Im also queer and she's extremely supporting.
In the past few years, I've given her as gifts small such as ally badges and stuff to show her how much I apprise her Support.
Recently, she's been offered the chance to apply for job where she's a social worker reaching out to people who might need help who are impacted by things like having a disability or being queer or are elderly.
She mentioned to me today how she needs to get some new ally Pride Pins to wear while she's working as recently the ones I gave her the tag she had them on fell of her bag.
I was really appreciative hearing that from her.
And want to replace them.
But I've been trying to think of something that would do the same thing and like show support for people who have a disability.
I myself wear a sunflower lanyard because I have Autsim, ADHD, Dyslexia, use hearing aids, APD, automatic dysfunction, ARFID, HYPERMOBILITY, CFS (+ other hidden disabilities)
I don't want to give her a sunflower lanyard cause that would probably imply she has a hidden disability and i don't want to confuse the people she's working with. And it's also just feels inappropriate
(I also not sure how everyone feels about the sunflower landyard)
But i recently found these pins that have the sunflower symbol on like a ribbon, and im not 100% sure if it would work, but would it be acceptable for someone to wear these in support? Or is there something else? I've never really looked in to it.
But I really want to give her something.
Or is the whole idea like a good one?
