“One day I was bored at home and I said to myself ‘I’m going to record myself frying an egg’, and here we are.” This is how the social media career of Ines Rodriguezpedagogue, Canarian and resident in Madrid, whom many may know better by her name on social networks: Inusu_al.

With cerebral palsy since she was born, a few weeks ago a video of her went viral saying how she doesn’t like being called “champion” on the street, something that, she tells us, happens to her several times a month. Now, more than 150,000 people follow his accountto which thanks come from other people with disabilities and from parents with disabled children.

“Above all, they thank me for making visible, for showing the adaptations that each person needs in life and that nothing happens, that we have to move forward,” he says.

It is not an isolated phenomenon. Like Inés, many young people with disabilities show their daily lives on social networks. As Alejandro Bocija, whose acquired spinal cord injury does not prevent him from enjoying video games; either Martha Bustoswho lost almost all his vision in a household accident involving caustic soda.

In their videos, in addition to pedagogy, they make visible other realities that can help many to find references that they do not have in their environment. Because networks can also be a wonderful meeting place.
