Vita Bernik – Slovenia.

​The Easy-to-read version of this text is available here.

Vita Bernik is a 24-year-old content creator, writer, model and Criminal Justice and Security graduate from Slovenia. She was diagnosed with SMA (spinal muscular atrophy) type II early on in life, however at the age of 21 that diagnosis was refuted, and she has been undiagnosed ever since. With her blog, she strives to represent the disability community by talking about its biases, misconceptions, taboos, accessibility, inclusion, society, system failures, etc., alongside educating people about ‘differences’ and showing that people with disabilities aren’t any different from abled people. She has been interviewed about her life with a disability and modelling journey by major magazines, including Cosmopolitan, Vogue and iD Italy. She loves to spend her free time with friends and family, as well as travelling and continuously thinking of new, fun and exciting ideas for her blog.
