Walk With MeThe story behind BraveryPods14:57
I open the door to the story behind my microphone: more than seven years in hospitals, a childhood stroke, the rare disease finally named when I was seventeen, and the treadmill beside my monitors that grew into Walk With Bravery. With my mom beside me, I connect that beginning to work, belonging, and why I wanted to make this show.

Accommodation Is Not an AdvantageWhat accommodation actually makes possible14:51
What if the obstacle is not the person, but the staircase, commute, or interview? My mom and I connect the social model of disability with curb cuts, captions, workplace data, and universal design. I want to show that access does not give me an unfair advantage—it lets people see the contribution that was already there.

The promise
No pity. No lowered expectations.
I want to share my real story, bring useful research to the table, and remind people that a diagnosis never tells the whole story of who we are.
