👋 Hello friends! 😎
Let me introduce myself: Dominique Ruiz-Courcelle, 50% Quebec, 50% Salvadorian, 28 years old, speaks French, English and Spanish, lives in Gatineau 🏙️, likes to travel ✈️, cinema 🎬, travel, series 📺, travel, reading 📚, travel, eating 🍽️, travel, seeing shows 🎤... oh and travel too! 🌍
One thing you should know about me is that I've been roommating with Ataxie de Friedreich since I was 13. 💪 I say I live in a roommate because I refuse to let my illness define me! 🚫🧑 deuxWe're two separate entities, but we sure have to adapt to each other (actually, I'm not adjusting to her anymore, but oh well 😅).
Anyway, you'll hear from me at least every month in Ataxie Canada's newsletters 📰, so be prepared to read the stories, sometimes funny 😂, sometimes a little less 😅 (but not often, I promise - when asked to rate it out of 10) to my state of health, I always give a 14-15! 😆) of my life. My goal with this project is to talk to you about it to try to join people like me who live, too, in a roommate with Ataxia. 👥 Generally, we all go through similar obstacles 💥, so why not share my experiences if it can help the world? 🙏 Also, I dare hope to join some "normal" people 👀 to show them that sometimes their preconceived (willingly or not) ideas about people with disabilities are totally wrong! 🚫🤔
