Parker Stroud

I am 21, queer, and disabled. I work as a goth beauty influencer with a strong focus on ethical brands and disability-inclusive options. Beauty has always been a way for me to express who I am, and over time it has grown into something bigger than just makeup. It has become a tool for storytelling, for challenging beauty standards, and for helping others feel seen. I started sharing my experiences because I wanted to show that beauty, especially within the goth community, is for everyone. Makeup and fashion should not be limited by ability or by what society tells us is “normal.” Through my platform, I share my personal lived experiences as a queer disabled person while highlighting brands and products that actually care about accessibility and inclusivity. each other up.
