Sophie Hagy

Hi, I’m Sophie — the voice behind WeAreAble. At 23, I’m navigating life after a spinal cord injury left me paralyzed, and I decided to stop hiding the hard stuff or only showing the highlight reel. Instead, I’m keeping it real. This blog is my corner of the internet where disability meets honesty, resilience, and a touch of sparkle. Here, you’ll find unfiltered girl talk on love, health, accessibility, advocacy, and everyday life in a wheelchair. Some posts will make you laugh, some might make you cry, and others will make you think — but all of them are rooted in truth. I believe disability doesn’t erase beauty, strength, or possibility. In fact, it redefines them. WeAreAble is about showing up unapologetically, embracing vulnerability, and reminding the world that disabled lives aren’t less — they’re just different, and equally worthy of being celebrated. So, whether you’re here to learn, relate, or simply vibe with me, welcome. Sit pretty, speak real, and stay awhile.
