What motivates me? Money, of course! Being disabled in Trump’s America is expensive. Growing up with cerebral palsy (CP) my father taught me how to walk by putting my little feet on top of his while he walked. He taught me to dance by dangling a dollar bill in front of me – my “inner stripper” was strong, even then!’
I had seen Maysoon Zayid’s seminal TED talk some years before we met and was particularly struck by the audience’s (initially nervous) reaction to her story. I can only describe it as painfully funny.
