Yes I do

Do you see yourself as a leader?

Yes I do see myself as a leader. I believe that it was something that God wanted to grow in me, and so I believe that that is part of the reason why he made me the way he made me because he knew that I would have to lean on him an advocate for the things I needed and trust him for the things I needed. Leadership in my life has had it’s fun Parts as well, I consider myself a leader in the disability community because I am now connected with Dynamic women in the Rolettes and the Boundless Babe Society. I feel like I’ve talked about them Ad nauseam at this point but it is because they have become so important in my life and taught me how to carrying myself with a good sense of pride not the look at me I’m the best in the world kind but a pride that says I’m comfortable with who I am and the equipment I use is simply a part of me even though some people might see it as a big deal. I have so much more to learn in being a leader in both of the communities that I serve in the community of my church family and my faith and the community of Sisterhood that is made up of the disability community.

My plans for the day

What are you doing this evening?

It’s 107 in the morning and I just got into bed when I woke up in the morning and plan to get dressed have breakfast including coffee and then do the writing that I have intended to do in my notebook That way I can turn my full transformation story which is now called watch me: my full transformation story into a podcast episode/audiobook. I’ve always dreamed of writing a book but I don’t think that it will ever become a hard copy that’s why I love the fact that I have a podcast now. I also want to start writing down some of the questions that I have already gotten for my 4th-anniversary podcast episode, If you are reading this and you have questions that you want to ask please include them in the comments.

Relaxing

How do you relax?

This used to be really hard for me. I was that person who did not want to rest because I thought that I would be missing out on something so even though there were days where I was sick and miserable I would be sick in miserable around people instead of being miserable and comfortable in my room and doing what I needed to do taking a nap and taking care of myself. These days the way I relax is watching TV or listening to music and honestly I find writing relaxing especially since I speak most of my content instead of typing it. It makes this easier for me because it doesn’t take so long

Space and accessibility

What does your ideal home look like?

When I think about what my ideal home looks like, and picture a beautiful Ranch style home with a no barrier entry and plenty of room to walk or roll around. I also picture a huge backyard with grass and a concrete area that has a fire pit and a place to sit with friends and family. My bedroom would have a low queen or king size bed that I would be able to transfer into and out of myself. I would also need a no barrier ensuite bathroom that I could walk into easily without fear of slipping and have plenty of room for a shower chair. In closing the Ultimate Dream though is to be able to leave my home whenever I want it without much assistance and not have to schedule my Independence around other people.

The people that I would want to fill this home with my parents my brother my friends that will come over for Bible study and other celebrations and I would also add some point in my life want to add a husband and children and maybe a dog or too into the mix.
