In this post we meet Marieta Petrova. Marieta is paired with Aylin Yumerova and will be sharing her story at our upcoming seminar The Freedom to Choose: Contracts, Capacity & the Law on Friday the 18th of November. You can register for the event here. 

My name is Marieta Petrova.

I am from Bulgaria.

I want to share a story about making decisions with support from a network of people who I trust.

My 7 word autobiography is curious and excited, but kind, friendly girl.

I joined the VOICES project because I want to help others like me. I hope that by sharing my story I can help to make a change in the legislation about people with intellectual disabilities.

What was your favourite part of the first workshop?

I really loved how people shared their stories. Everyone had a unique story.

What are you hoping to learn from the project?

I hope to learn how to write and share my story with others.
