“All I really want people to know is that your differences are your superpower.”⁣
⁣
Meet Tilly Lockey (@tilly.lockey). She #Advocates for body positivity and equality, especially in the disabled community.⁣

“Growing up, I always had to explain myself,” explains 15-year-old Tilly, who lost her hands to meningitis when she was a baby. “Lots of people would just constantly assume things about me like, ‘Oh, well, she wasn’t able to do this, she mustn't be able to do that.’ It really got on my nerves because I’m a very independent person.⁣
⁣
I don’t have hands, so I wasn’t going to be able to write, draw or do anything along those lines. I’ve gone down the route of prosthetics. Originally, I was given a glove and told that I kind of had to hide away. So that was definitely motivation for me to just be, like, ‘Why do I want to hide away? That’s not what I want to do. I want to embrace my differences.’⁣
⁣
I’ve worked with prosthetic companies throughout my life, and now I’m working with a company called Open Bionics. We’ve made a bionic Hero Arm, which is basically made to accentuate those differences, which is why I love it so much. I like to think of these bionic arms now as more than a medical device — they help you both mentally and physically, which is a huge improvement.⁣
⁣
I wouldn’t take my disability and what happened to me when I was so young back for the world, because it’s made me the person I am today.”⁣

#Advocates highlights people around the world who are sparking positive change. ✨⁣
