About Me: The B-Sides
Better Call Val: Self-Advocacy • Accessibility • Resources
Hi, I’m Val. This is the other side of the record.
I’m a mom, I’m autistic, I took the scenic route to a marketing degree, and I’ve reinvented myself more times than I can count. I love Better Call Saul, research nearly everything that catches my attention, and have an almost unavoidable tendency to turn whatever I’m experiencing into something I want to understand. Sometimes that means learning about marketing. Sometimes it means disability rights, accessibility, public systems, or why Jimmy McGill is surprisingly good at marketing.
The B-Sides are the more personal side of Better Call Val. This is where you'll find the stories behind what I do: motherhood, disability, advocacy, education, starting over, changing direction, and the rabbit holes I pick up along the way. My life hasn't followed a particularly straight line, and I'm finally realizing that maybe it wasn't supposed to. I've learned a lot from all those detours, and this is where I get to talk about them.
If the A-Side is what I do, the B-Side is how I got here—and where I’m going next.
Welcome to the B-Side.
Disclaimer: I'm not currently accepting advocacy clients. These resources are simply the bricks I've used along my own self-advocacy path. If you're looking to hire a disability advocate, please use the contact form on the homepage and I'll do my best to connect you with a reputable referral.
