This is what I mean by a transformer wheelchair, I’m sure by the end of one day pieces would be falling off due to my CP. Someone should take the song by the Eurythmics and turn it into Demolitionary Man as the CP theme song.

The first black Barbie to use a wheelchair is here, and people are loving the message it sends to kids
I like how she comes with her own ramp, as she can tackle anything that gets in her way! I always thought that it would be cool to have a ramp the rotated around my electric chair, it would rest in back of me and when needed, it could rotate from back to forward, over my head. It could also double as a roof in bad weather.

50 States. 50 labels. One way to score $100* - MTN DEW®
I wonder if anyone has done the math to see how much it cost to collect of 50 bottles in order to win the $100? Maybe MTN DEW figured people are traveling anyway for festivals so they could use some extra cash.I can see, if they come in 6 packs, people trading them as they do with Olympic pins.

This reminds me when I used to go to Skate Land, I would get go on the rink once an hour with three guards. One would push me while one skate in front and the other would protect our 6.

I really do not know how much work would get done during those late nights during finals? This is the type of thing people wanted to design to get me of my knees when I do my art.

This is one of many emails I receive from students and educators to share my view  about living as a person with a disability.

What do you talk about in your motivational speeches?

I mostly tell stories from my life, a lot of is related to living as a person with a disability but really they can relate to everyone. We all have challenges in life, but I want to show people there is always a way to get over them. If one way is not work try another, it is okay to ask for help. I also talk about find your passion in life, because they become asks of kindness that can change our world for the better. Even the smallest can change a life for the good.

How do you communicate in different ways?

The biggest one is my art, I do a lot of social media to keep up with disability topics and to put my thoughts out for people to think about. I really am not one to talk about my daily life on it, but put out a lot of my art and things that I feel passionate about. I feel like social media has open a new world of communication for the disabled community.

How has cerebral palsy affected your life? How do you express yourself?

Having CP is just about doing things differently, I can do what ever I want just with twist. It is a life style that chose me, it might take longer to do things but I get them done. If might take me twice as long to have a conversation in the end my thoughts may be valuable then others.

What is your belief about cerebral palsy?

I still feel that I do have CP, but it does not control me. It does present more challenges in life, but CP is just part of my personality and help lead me down the path I am taking in life. I have never asked why I have CP, or if there was a way to fixed it. Once I was visiting a school and a student asked me the magic pill question to take away my CP. I replied, I would not take it because having CP is only way of life I know. To take away my CP would be like dropping off to live on another planet
