Name: SmooVie
Age: 18
City: Kassel, Germany
Occupation: Vocational baccalaureate diploma in the field of health
Impairment: I've had a bone disease since I was born. I'm seated in a wheelchair, but I can walk. Only two people in Germany have my disease besides me. The disease is called Stüve-Wiedemann-Syndrome.

What makes you laugh?

SmooVie: I always laugh! I do take my disease with humor.
 
What have you always been wanting to do and why have you never done this so far?

SmooVie: I'm currently trying to start my own business – with streaming and graphic design. Why haven't I made it yet? Because of school.

Which person has influenced you most? And why?

SmooVie: I'm a hard man to influence. I go my way and don't let anything be said to me.

You have the chance to become the Commissioner for the Disabled. What would you do first?

SmooVie: Change the world of work! Accessibility in ALL shops! I could write a whole list...

What is especially near and dear to you?

SmooVie: Inclusion!

I would like to be...

SmooVie: I want to do my dream job as a digital and print media designer. So far it hasn't worked because there is a longer story with the employment agency. I want to become independent.

Which question would you like answered the most?

SmooVie: If I have a question, I do not hesitate and ask it immediately. So I can't think of any.
