Humans of Scotland: Strengthening our collective voice
Humans of Scotland is an ALLIANCE campaign highlighting the voices of disabled people, people living with long term conditions and unpaid carers. In this video, we capture the experiences of three contributors to Humans of Scotland as they reflect on their experience of sharing their stories, the motivations behind it and why it is important for others to share their own stories.
We sat down with Kayla to explore how being a courageous leader doesn’t have to mean you look and sound a certain way, and how true leadership is about being vulnerable. They spoke to us about overcoming people’s initial perceptions, and how young people everywhere can get involved as a leader in the third sector.
