Sense Awards Judge: Max Fisher
Max Fisher is a multi-award winning disability advocate, speaker and scientist, who was this year named in the Top 10 of the Shaw Trust’s Disability Power 100 List. Max, who won Sense’s Person of the Year in 2022, was diagnosed with Visual Snow Syndrome in 2021 after living with it their whole life, and they are also Deaf.
Max uses their YouTube channel as an educational tool, reaching thousands of people with their videos on chronic disability. Max is also a drag king, who uses canes and BSL to make their drag performances educational, inclusive and even more entertaining for the audience.
As a previous Sense Awards winner, these awards have a special place in my heart and I’m very happy to be back this year! Sense has been supporting disabled people for 70 years now, and its Awards are a highlight of the year and important opportunity to celebrate disabled people with complex needs and all of our incredible achievements. Best of luck to everyone nominated!
