Joshuanette Francis was diagnosed with osteoarthritis at just 24 and was told she could lose the ability to walk by age 40 .

She set up a YouTube channel documenting her journey to change an unequal society.

Six years on, she founded a pioneering non-profit called Good Humans 268 .

Good Humans is pushing for the establishment of an equal rights tribunal to preside over purported discriminatory practices.

The Victory Centre is among the schools to have joined Good Humans' recycling scheme.

Joshuanette believes mental health should be a key focus of disability awareness.

Despite her largely positive outlook, she admits depression struck again recently when she turned 30 and still could not afford her own home.
