To the Parents of children with disabilities and other medical needs-

As I sit back and reflecting..

Two days before Christmas I got a text from one of my why's mom saying that he was in the hospital in the ICU.. He has Cerebral Palsy and other related medical condition. A few years ago when I really realized what I do is my purpose. I personally adopted this family for my personal mission of giving back during the holidays.

Since I was introduced to this family.. giving gifts is what makes my Christmas special each year. My heart never feels complete without my providing to this family or giving during the holidays..

The joy on kids face. Makes my day.

I myself have Cerebral Palsy but to be honest.. I am thankful i am healthy considering my Cerebral Palsy.

On my journey many families of children with disabilities are in contact with me i follow their journey as well. It really touch my heart to see families write they can't plan for the holidays etc because they did not weather they will end up in the hospital.

and i just started to think about the parents moms, dad and caregivers

for the new year 2020 my new project will be to create care packages for mom, dad and caregivers who spend time with kids in the hospital

so excited to get this started

I Graduated College. What's the journey was like?

On June 16. 2020 I officially graduated from Kingsborough Community College with my associates degree in liberal arts degree. This June 2020 This day turned less expected then I imagine due to situations happening in the world but it didn't change anything about me getting my degree on that day my degree was conferred. I knew I was free and empowered to tell my college journey story! Now it's my time to shine! Many may have viewed my time in college as totally a success story but trust me I faced lots of struggles that I truly never shared in my college struggles because it felt odd for many reasons "What IF I fail??? but what if I fly??? Growing up for the past 18 years and have been apart of the special education system. I remember my mom sharing with me in the beginning of me going into the public school system a school physiologist came to evaluate me and because I didn't respond to her she assumed I didn't know my colors and made a decision th

Quarantine is a new normal for many but is not strange to those with disabilities

Life in quarantine as person with a disability is nothing new it's often our reality in some cases. Before this current situation I feel like I once lived in aspect of quarantine in high school for 4 years. It never really hit me to make such connection to the new reality until today. In 2009 the beginning of my high school journey On the first day of school when the school bus came to pick me up the diver inform my mom that the school i was in route to go to was not wheelchair accessible.. I never really talk out this experiences in my speeches but a few weeks ago I was ask to share my journey with college students majoring in education ask me if I had the opportunity of going to same schools as my peers and neighbors if wanted too and that was when the light went of in my head to share this experience. very few of my neighborhood schools are wheelchair accessible so again my parents and I didn't have many choices on placement of school. Once I got the okay to atten
