Hi! My name is Hasitha Illa

A Little About Me

Writer and Published Author ✍🏻

I combined my passion to write and goal to spread disability awareness to craft a book to soon share with the world. It will, in no time, be available in the states :) Keep a look out 👀

Disability Activist 👩🏻‍🦽‍➡️

I enjoy bringing awareness on what seemed like an impediment to many but is actually the fire to my soul.

Speaker 🎤

I was always terrified of public speaking, but I came out of my comfort zone once and never looked back from then on :)

I did YouTube, once upon a time. Watch this, if you want a good laugh :)

“In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems. You dance inside my chest, where no one sees you, but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art.”
