What TV shows did you watch as a kid?
I was the kind of child that grew up watching TV.
I was the first one of my siblings to get a TV as my parents understood that once I was in bed I was stuck.
TV gives me freedom, representation, entertainment, I’m sure the list goes on.
One of my favourite TV shows as a child was Glee. Particularly because of Artie the character in a wheelchair.
So make no mistake I was devastated to learn that the actor was not in a wheelchair. That he was acting. Learning this, took away the representation I thought I had.
I still love Glee. I have recently watched it. But this was a moment I will not forget.
