An Award Winning Entrepreneur, Motivational Speaker & Social Media Correspondent for the Disability Community.
As the former CEO/Founder/Publisher of i.d.e.a.l. Magazine, i.d.e.a.l. Magazine was a magazine for Urban Young People with Disabilities. During the 11 year operation of i.d.e.a.l. Magazine had many success and accomplishments but it wasn’t enough to maintain the operation of the magazine. i.d.e.a.l. Magazine quietly closes its operation in 2015. Over the course of a year, I took this time to reflect and to discover my next career path. After much praying and self-reflection, I decided to become a Motivational Speaker on Sexuality VS Disability a topic that doesn’t get much conversation in the disability community as well as in society. Through this performance/presentation I will discuss the conversation that most of society doesn’t want to discuss. Sex in the disability community is seen as taboo and I will eliminate the stigmas and stereotypes that are placed on people with disabilities.
