My name is Peta Hooke I'm a 30-something, Melbourne girl living with Cerebral Palsy. 

​

I am very proud to be the Creator, Host, Producer, Editor and One Woman Band of The I Can't Stand Podcast. 

​

I love my job. I love interviewing and chatting to people learning that regardless of type of disability or maybe no disability at all; we aren't that different from each other.

 

With well over 100 episodes of the podcast, I am so proud of the many amazing stories that have been produced.  To listen to those stories click the episodes tab. 

​

Away from the pod, I love to help people better understand disability. Working with organisations to highlight the many barriers that disabled people face and how inclusion can overcome those barriers. 

​

I am very passionate about improving disability representation in the fashion industry and in the media. I really do believe that you can't be what you can't see and well; at the moment we have a very long way to go to achieving balanced representation. 

​

I also am very proud to have completed a Master of Tourism degree at Monash University.

 

Accessible and inclusive tourism also has a very long way to go. Disabled tourists deserve to be viewed as equal and valued as any other customer and yet for many disabled people travelling is one of the most inaccessible and ableist systems that we face today. I hope to help change that.
