About Sarah Wingfield
Kawaii Doll Decora
Sarah Wingfield is the face and founder of Kawaii Doll Decora, a creative brand that blends kawaii aesthetics with alternative edge, advocacy, and unapologetic self-expression.
An actress, author, artist, and disability advocate, Sarah uses art, storytelling, and visual identity to challenge harmful stereotypes around disability, neurodivergence, and femininity. Her work centres visibility, honesty, and empowerment — creating space for people who are often overlooked to be seen without dilution or apology.
Kawaii Doll Decora is more than a pastel aesthetic. It is a platform for resilience, individuality, and softness as strength, led by lived experience and driven by a belief that creativity can be both beautiful and political.
What a Disability Advocate Actually Does (and Why I’m Different)
A disability advocate is someone who stands up for disabled people’s rights, access, and dignity. Advocates challenge unfair systems, support people through complex processes, and ensure their voices are heard when they are often ignored. Advocacy is about empowering individuals to access the support and services they are entitled to, and holding services, councils, and policies accountable.
I have been doing this work for over two decades, informed by both professional training and lived experience. My work includes:
Helping disabled people secure accessible housing and adaptations to live safely and independently.
Supporting people through Personal Independence Payment (PIP) applications and appeals.
Sharing knowledge about Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction (SPD), helping women manage the condition and, in some cases, avoid requiring wheelchairs.
Implementing practical changes, such as securing seating at bus stops so people do not have to sit on the floor.
Studying extensively alongside advocacy, including completing the “No Secrets” safeguarding workbook.
Keeping up-to-date with disability legislation, including the latest edition of the Disability Rights Handbook.
Completing several children’s wellbeing and legislation courses to support children in the care system.
Working within the NHS to support children and adults with learning disabilities.
Writing papers on challenging behaviours and invisible illnesses (dynamic disabilities), which have been implemented into training programmes for carer organisations.
Being published in neurodivergent magazines and having disability-positive artwork featured, raising awareness and representation through creativity.
Attending and speaking at organized and peaceful protests to publicly advocate for disabled rights and accessibility.
Running a support group for pelvic dysfunction, even when bedbound; the group previously had a website, now offline due to funding.
Surviving mistreatment, ableism, and physical and emotional abuse in hospitals, and being a target of misused policies and procedures.
Actively working with women’s and children’s charities, contributing to podcasts, educational materials, and direct support.
Being in the news when employment support was sabotaged, and advocating for fair treatment for those legally using medical cannabis.
Public speaking on disability rights, inclusion, and advocacy, sharing knowledge and lived experience to educate and inspire communities.
Writing a book aimed at helping to eradicate ableism.
I am a fully qualified independent advocate, and my work is unpaid because it is a necessary service, not a source of profit. I take action, persist, and amplify voices that are often ignored. My personal experiences of trauma and systemic barriers strengthen my commitment to fighting for fairness, dignity, and equality for all disabled people.
All disabled voices matter – not just some.
