One of my characteristics that sets me apart from many others is loving me some ME!!! Yes, having a disability and some complex challenges sets me apart from many other people especially those without any disabilities. It took a while to fully accept who I am and when I did my world change drastically. Embracing me built confidence, character, and an unlimited amount of self happiness...💚

I - Always try to do all that I can INDEPENDENTLY.
A - And, though I need help with some things, I accept it and keep going UNASHAMDELY M - My willpower keeps me going MENTALLY S - So much happiness and joy on a daily basis fills me up SPIRITUALLY O - Of course, it also helps by taking away the feeling of frustration when getting around obstacles OBJECTIVELY M - Meaning that I never stop believing in ME E - Everlasting doing my best to EFFECTIVELY B - Bring out the best version of myself that I can BE O - Oh, because of my condition, I do some things differently than most, but I don’t get down about that because it just shows the uniqueness of who I am ONLY D - Don’t you see, I love teaching and shining a light on those who may judge my appearance physically, especially those who might prejudge without getting to know me INTELLECTUALLY Y - Yes, excitement builds up because it brings another opportunity to share my experiences of what living a good life with Cerebral Palsy is like and how every day, I’m going beyond my disability to reach my abilities while feeling proud to show anyone that I AM SOMEBODY! Never let your challenges be your downfall. Just think positive thoughts, be inspired, and alway stay motivated to your good life!!💚 It's a little late for this post but I'm hoping that you had a great Christmas and that you are having an awesome holiday season!!!
There are so many reasons that I’m thankful for especially this year. Family, friends, supporters (on and off of social media), and the parents that have kids with disabilities who’ve stopped me and my family in our St. Louis community to let us know how much of an inspiration I am to their children. That truly means the world to me. Many doors have been opened for me this year so far as well and have presented me with some amazing opportunities. I went from modeling for a few major brands to launching my own brand, among some other awesome things as well. People without disabilities may look down on us as if we're not capable of being contributors to society but I'm showing proof in my community that myth isn't true. The excitement that I feel for what’s to come in my future is so real… For these reasons and many more, I’m thankful more than ever on this Thanksgiving Day.
