16-year-old Katie Steel who lives with Cerebral Palsy, has created a unique wax melt alongside entrepreneur and Instagram influencer, Hannah Chapman and said 'her disability helped her do something so amazing'.
A Glasgow teenager with cerebral palsy who helped create a wax melt product for a charity close to her heart said the experience has shown that "young disabled people that we can do anything we want".
After Katie showed an interest in the business, and a curiosity around the production line of the products, Hannah, who has known Katie for the last dive years after the teenager connected with her through her Instagram account, decided to offer her the opportunity to be involved, with the creation of her own charity product.
Hannah said: “Katie has very much been in charge of the process. So the first step was picking a scent. I selected a range of fragrances and sent them up to Glasgow. The rest has been down to Katie – she whittled down the scents and settled on her absolute favourite. She has a great nose for fragrance!
As she spent more time on social media, she became instantly attracted to the community she found there, giving her a sense of inclusivity and she thrived off the ability to reach out to people she wanted to share a connection with, which she was unable to do in person.Katie initially followed Mrs Hinch and found Hannah and Ava May Aromas through her, then she saw her chance when Hannah found herself in Katie’s home town of Glasgow.
Hannah’s social media community has already shown support for the product with followers commenting on how beautiful and thoughtful the collaboration is.
