Georgina Burton
Model, Blogger and Content Creator at Disabled Travel with Georgina
Media and Publishing
Georgina Burton is an award-winning disabled writer, model and content creator based in Derbyshire. Her website, www.disabledtravelwithgeorgina.com, hones in on the intricacies of accessible, adapted travel. Her reviews and partnerships with a variety of businesses have allowed them to enhance the experience of disabled customers and become more inclusive. The crucial detail within her posts empowers future visitors to assess whether each place is suited to their own personal needs.
In more recent years, her sites have also leaned into encouraging more inclusion within the wedding industry. This has involved working with vendors and writing about her own experiences as a recent bride with disabilities. Through modelling on styled shoots which simulate a wedding, she has become a multi-published bridal model in publications across the world. Representation of beauty that diverges from conventional beauty standards is rare within this industry. This means her content as a model has gained positive traction whilst opening essential dialogues to work towards inclusion.
Her instagram disabledtravelwithgeorgina showcases snapshots of her life and modelling shoots. Through passionately sharing her lived experiences, Georgina hopes to change perceptions about the disabled community whilst forming an inter-connected support network for her followers. She aspires to work towards removing the stigma surrounding disability and disabled beauty.
“One person can’t change the world but they can still make movement towards that change. I would love to reduce the stigma surrounding disability and work towards making the world as inclusive, accessible, diverse and accommodating to everyone as I possibly can.”
