Female 1: I feel so blessed to be able to just live my
life and have people be motivated by it.

Female 2: I have a spinal cord injury.
And so, when I
was seeing people roll by I was like
wow, so that's what I'm gonna look like
Female 3: I think I always knew I was different.
I knew other kids can hear and I can't
Female 4: I was born paralyzed I
was born with
Spina Bidfia. Um so, I've been paralyzed my
whole life and its the only life I know.
I had to kinda grow into learning I
was different.
Female 1: My biggest insecurity is my legs.
So, I decided hey, if thats my biggest
insecurity, then I'm gonna I'm gonna start a jean line.
And all of the pictures are based around
my jeans and my legs, and other peoples legs.
And thats where I realized that its okay to be
different. Because, once you embrace it
your entire world changes.
Male 1: People usually
they don't know how to react to me a lot of times
So like I'll make little jokes like,
Hey calm down, it's okay. I'll be okay.
Male 2: I would have people treat me as if I wasn't
really there. And I would have people
treat me like they didn't want anything
to do with me, and perhaps its because they
were scared. And they didn't know any
other response.
Female 1: One of my favorite things is when I'm out
in public and i have all my girls with me
who are all in chairs. Who are all gorgeous.
And we literally love when we see heads, just turn.
Female 4: Society doesn't correlate disability and
being attractive. We are beautiful people.

Everyone is beautiful in their own way.
But, we can be stylish. We can be gorgeous.
And stunning and fabulous, as I like to
say. Because, yes I see myself as being fabulous
Female 2: Being a dancer you know, once a
dancer always a dancer. I didn't stop
So, I would go out to the clubs and I would get my
boogie on. And I was surprised by how
guys would approach me and be like
hey you're hot and they wouldn't say
your still hot, they would say you're hot
Male 2: There is the black and white, there is the
bad and theres good. So as long as your
focusing on the good, then the bad just seems to melt away.
