When asked about how she became involved with disability activism, she spoke about her discomfort with identify as a person with a disability, despite the fact that this refusal was limiting for her in relation to her embodiment. Her disability was not limiting for her, but rather her refusal to identify with her embodied reality: “I was afraid of identifying as a person with a disability – that was very limiting for me… I realized that although I had been involved political issues I hadn’t been involved in the disability rights movement and that was probably the most important thing in my life right then.”

FRAP provided Dot with and opportunity to move her body, to have fun in an embodied way. “Moving was nice – there are not many situations where I just dance. It reminded me how good it feels to be rhythmic and move in different ways.”
