She is successful on social networks, especially on TikTok, where she is known as @inusu_al. Now, she says in an interview that she is “the girl on TV who makes disability visible“.
To this woman, who has nearly 100,000 followers on TikTok and who exceeded four million views with a video about her life in which she regrets that people call her a “champion” for having a disability, she doesn’t like “that nonsense about whether we are champions or heroes.” “We are precarious, but like everyone else.

On the occasion of the International and European Day of People with Disabilities, he sent a strong message to politicians about the situation of this group. “They say things that then they don’t comply. They are always very nice, but I want to see results. I ask for political will and also that the laws for people with disabilities be made by professionals, people who have worked or work with us, who are the ones who know, the ones who are at the forefront, because then they put in place something that is on paper. very good, but putting them into practice is not easy,” he explained.
