PART 1: NOT AN INSPIRATION 💭 She is disabled, NO!🤔 She is Hasitha Illa, and she loves to write and She's pretty confident on camera. So, she started a blog and a youtube channel in order to spread awareness on disability related issues and rights. She has given motivational speeches on stage as well.🥰 . Link in bio to her amazing youtube channel- Hasitha Illa!🤩 . She was diagnosed with a super rare disease called Friedreich's Ataxia. That traumatic experience has made her a stronger and a positive person.🧠 . This is how should be her introduction because she comes first and then her disability enters.🦿 . I started stalking her and learnt about disabilities. 🥰 Oh yes you correctly heard not 'differently-abled' not "divyang" not "special" i said she's a person with disability. And if confused ask them what term they identify by without just presuming.☺ . She's not an inspiration to me just because she's on wheelchair, she's a inspiration to me beacuse how of the way she as a human is minus her disability. 👩🦽 "Full of life" and "Full of hasi" and because i look at her and think i wanna learn how not to fear a camera just like she does.🤗 . She is independent, she can have a love life ,a sexual life, she can get married ,can have kids, she can work, she can study!🤰 Now you get it you don't have to pitty on her, because she's equal to you!💃 . #wheelchair #wheelchairlife #wheelchairgirl #wheelchairbasketball #wheelchairtravel #wheelchairuser #wheelchairbarbie #wheelchairmodel #wheelchairfashion #wheelchairs #wheelchairtennis #wheelchairrugby #wheelchairaccessible #wheelchairsports #wheelchairfitness #wheelchairlifestyle #wheelchairdog #wheelchairdontcare #wheelchairbodybuilding #wheelchairracing #wheelchairlife♿ #wheelchairdance #wheelchairproblems #wheelchairwoman #wheelchairstyle #wheelchairgang #wheelchaircommunity #loveyourself #loveyourself💜 #loveyourselfchallenge (at Mumbai, Maharashtra) https://www.instagram.com/p/CF2KJ_-F-89/?igshid=1qfux14tlnosz

A Big Win For Afghan Women's Wheelchair Hoopsters
Courtesy of ICRC
The women used to be so nervous about playing wheelchair basketball in public that they had opaque screens erected to conceal the court.
Now their faces are being splashed across media outlets in Afghanistan.
On Sunday, Afghanistan's national women's wheelchair basketball team won their first championship at the 4th annual Bali Cup International Tournament in Indonesia.
It was the first time the team had ever played in an international tournament.
Jess Markt, their American coach, has been training the 11 members of the national team since 2012.
"They're one of the greatest sports stories that I've ever been associated with," says Markt. "I'm incredibly proud of them."
When the Afghan team first started shooting hoops, they were worried about what their family and friends might think of them. It's hard enough being a woman in Afghanistan, explains Markt — and playing sports as a woman using a wheelchair was unheard of.

That's why the women, who range in age from 17 to 30, initially requested the screens around the courts, he says. But after the women saw how much excitement there was around the men's wheelchair basketball competition in 2013, they told Markt: "We want people to see us play. Take down the screens."
Today, there are 120 women wheelchair basketball players in Afghanistan. Many of them are not able to use their limbs as a result of polio, birth defects or war-related injuries.
"Other disabled girls see the women doing incredible things and say 'I wanna be like them.' " says Markt. "The national team has become role models to girls around the country."
