Hi, my name is Willie Prince and I'm a proud Kalkadoon man from Mount Isa in Queensland.
We're fighters.
We don't back down.
We try what we want and we try for it.
And that's who I am, you know, a fighter, an advocate.
There was a need for a voice out there for Abigil and Toasted Islander people with disabilities.
And there's not many out there in our community that are leaders.
It's people like myself that get up there and have a go.
And we were out there educating, showing them that we are equals.
I got into sport by accident, actually, it was through a friend of mine that introduced me to and they just took me along to watch them play wheelchair sport and I got rather interested in and I said to myself there's not Aboriginal people with disabilities playing sport.
And I said to myself, why don't I give it a go?
You know, I broke down the barriers.
I went on to represent QLD 11 times in wheelchair sport, which was overseas.
I'm really proud of what I did and what I achieved.
That really showed the way forward for other Aboriginal people with disabilities who want to be involved in sport.
I think International Day for People with Disabilities, it's very important that we do this because it's the one day of the year that we are able to get out there to showcase our abilities, not our disabilities.
It's about being accepted and to be embraced by the community as a whole.
When you look at myself, I have a double disadvantage.
I'm Aboriginal and I have a disability.
So when I introduce myself to people, I'm a proud Indigenous man with a disability, not a man with a disability, and I'm Aboriginal.
I'm a proud Aboriginal man with a disability.
I'd like to see people in the community aware that we are here, that we are able to educate them.
I'd like a fully inclusive, wholehearted community, everybody together enjoying themselves.
