For years it has been my mission to utilize my story in a way that starts a conversation, to share my experiences in hopes of changing perception of not only what disability looks like, but changing perception of what we perceive possible. I have found that part of that conversation involves addressing the misconceptions that surround us, the unconscious biases we face. So in an effort to start a conversation I am going to start #MisconceptionMonday - a place to start the conversation, a place to address the unconscious biases that surround us in an effort to #ChangePerception - so to kick things off this week, here is my #MisconceptionMonday ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Living with a disability does not imply that I am incapable - I am a strong, independent woman and my wheelchair does not prevent me from conquering the world around me. I am a professional athlete, an entrepreneur, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of a social impact agency and production studio, a motivational speaker, a writer, an advocate, a daughter, sister, friend, dog mommy and wife - I am so many things other than a woman with a disability and although I have had to learn the power of adaptation, my disability has in no way held me back in life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My dreams, goals and ambitions in life do not exist with an asterisk next to them denoting that I live with a disability - in fact my disability has no bearing on how high I look to climb, if anything it motivates me to reach higher and change perception of disability. : @jenson56 @acowsay #Dream #AbilityNotDisability #Perspective #ProudParalympian
Olivia Gushue is aglow when she glides through the air on a zip line built especially for her.
.
Her family’s motto is that if they’re going to do something, they’re going to do it together.
.
So the Gushues built the zip line to accommodate the eight-year-old’s wheelchair.
.
Olivia has a form of cerebral palsy that affects her ability to control her muscles and to speak.
.
But when she’s flying through the sky, her smile says it all.
