Olivia Shivas - Model and Journalist with Muscular Dystrophy - Vision of Representation

Olivia is passionate about empowering disabled people. As a wheelchair-user with muscular dystrophy and being mixed-race (Chinese/Malaysian and European), she understands what it means to experience prejudice. However, she has used her experiences to positively influence and invest in others, such as running the volunteer radio station at Starship Children’s Hospital. She was one of the first disabled models included at New Zealand Fashion Week and is a member of All is for All, an accessible media, communications and talent agency. She is a trained journalist and works as a digital producer at one of the biggest news organizations in New Zealand. Olivia is our 45th guest on Vision of Representation. "Vision of Representation" is a documentary series by student filmmaker, Stephanie Hubert. She has created this platform in order to tell people's stories. She believes that sharing stories helps others understand and become more informed, which allows for growth and less judgment. Make sure to like and subscribe for more episodes!
