"What luck! What an incredible moment to carry the @paralympics @paris2024 flame," Butch wrote on an Instagram photo slideshow. "People who have followed my work for a long time know to what extent I fight for the representation of all, that I fight against ableism and for inclusiveness."
"Rock en Seine was a moment filled with emotion. This festival was incredible and will remain a unique moment.... Carrying this flame is a moment that will remain forever engraved in my heart. Representation matters. Making the invisible visible again and forever."
"I chose not to be afraid of existing in public space," Butch said, according to FranceInfo. She was one of about 1,000 torchbearers who will carry the Paralympic flame in 50 cities across France to raise awareness of people living with disabilities and promote their inclusion in sports.
