At age 5, Bianca Saez was diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome; a neurological disorder, characterized by uncontrollable movements and vocalizations called tics. Although the diagnosis would prove to impart a series of challenges throughout Bianca’s life, Bianca made a choice to rise above these challenges and use both Tourette syndrome and the challenging experiences to advocate for others living with a disability and educate people across Australia and beyond. In year 5, Bianca created and produced an educational video on TS, alongside her peers, that would better inform fellow students and teachers about how to approach people living with TS and what to expect. Since then, Bianca has forged ahead down the path of advocacy, filming, editing, and producing educational videos on various social media platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook. To date, Bianca has been interviewed for 60 minutes on three separate occasions. In 2020 Bianca founded her own motivational speaking business and has since traveled throughout Queensland participating in speaking engagements with various schools, employment agencies, and most recently at the QASEL convention in Brisbane.
Bianca has collaborated with personalities such as Mike Goldman – On the Mike and Tics and Tats. Bianca is ecstatic about getting involved with the SHE project and sharing her experience, strength, and hope with the broader community through a different artistic platform.
