Alanah’s Story: Creativity Without Limits

In this episode’s 1-to-1 conversation, we sit down with Alanah — a talented photographer, visual storyteller, and creative powerhouse whose journey is as inspiring as her portfolio.

Alanah opens up about what it truly means to grow a creative business while living with Type 1 diabetes, autism, ADHD, and a limb difference caused by childhood polio. From being told she “couldn’t do things” to now being published in Vogue and featured on a Manchester Piccadilly billboard, her story is about defying expectations — not adjusting herself to fit them.

She talks openly about the challenges disabled creatives face, especially in industries where accessibility is often an afterthought. For her, photography is both an expression and a declaration:
“I want to prove that even with disabilities, you can still do whatever you put your mind to.”

We explore her motivations, her vision for the future, and the role representation plays in her work. She also shares her admiration for creatives who have paved the way — from Lila Moss to Rosie Jones to Aitch — each reminding her that visibility matters.

Alanah also discusses her goals moving forward:
🌟 gaining more exposure,
🌟 connecting with investors or partners,
🌟 expanding her creative network, and
🌟 building confidence in her next steps.

This conversation is raw, real, and full of powerful perspective — a reminder that talent isn’t limited by circumstance, and creativity belongs to everyone.

If you’ve ever doubted your ability to pursue your dreams because of who you are or what you live with, Alanah’s story is one you need to hear.
