Meet Hoda Jreij Eid, a Lebanese TikToker who is passing on her experiences with disability and accessibility in Lebanon to everyone in a series of loving and humorous videos.

In one of her most popular videos, Eid visits Bartartine in Dbayeh and rates the state of the restaurant for wheelchair users. She shows how the stairs block her from going up to the main part of the store, meaning that she is unable to access a significant portion of the store and has to instead sit at the restaurant’s terrace. She then checks the tables and seating for accessibility, giving them the a-okay there.

Focusing on her real life experiences, Eid brings a dose of much needed attention to the state of Lebanon’s accessible infrastructure. From streets and alleys to restaurants and supermarkets, Eid offers thorough reviews of the places she visits, alongside other videos of her daily life.

Bringing a signature charm as she goes through her day, her videos are both a great watch and a great way to raise awareness of people with disabilities’ rights across the country.
