You got it, bud. You're going to be amazing.
All right. I just wanted to say

00:06.321 --> 00:10.001
that Brewability's concept,
along with the exposure

00:10.001 --> 00:15.361
of a docuseries, would have
such a positive impact.

00:15.361 --> 00:18.961
It has the potential to change the world.
I know for a fact

00:18.961 --> 00:22.001
it has changed a lot of people's worlds.
It certainly changed mine.

00:22.001 --> 00:26.481
Before I started working here,
I was unable to get a job

00:26.481 --> 00:29.681
anywhere else because I am in the
hospital and sick too often.

00:29.681 --> 00:34.061
I felt defined by my
illnesses and disabilities,

00:34.061 --> 00:38.301
like I had no value or skill sets

00:38.301 --> 00:41.661
or really anything positive
to contribute to this world.

00:41.661 --> 00:45.581
But through Brewability, I discovered I do,
and I am not defined by my disabilities.

00:45.581 --> 00:50.221
Through working here, I have the amazing
opportunity to help others discover

00:50.221 --> 00:53.501
this for themselves. This concept is

00:53.501 --> 00:57.701
really redefining the word disability,

00:57.701 --> 01:01.821
especially the thought of disabled people
in the workplace.

01:01.821 --> 01:05.981
Working here has taught me that I can
embrace my struggles

01:05.981 --> 01:10.381
and turn them into superpowers,
rather than hide from them

01:10.381 --> 01:13.301
and only think negatively about them.

01:13.301 --> 01:17.261
Brewability is a place where people who feel

01:17.261 --> 01:21.821
unaccepted and rejected in everyday society
can unite, be themselves, have fun,

01:21.821 --> 01:25.821
and experience an overwhelming,
joyous sensation

01:25.821 --> 01:29.381
of welcomeness, acceptance,

01:29.381 --> 01:33.421
understanding, and love as soon
as they step foot in the door.

01:33.421 --> 01:38.201
Brewability is not a job.
It is my second family and my purpose,

01:38.201 --> 01:42.121
and it has changed me more than you can imagine.

01:42.121 --> 01:45.401
It is a place where I and many others
feel comfortable being ourselves,

01:45.401 --> 01:49.321
because we all share similar struggles
and know what it is like

01:49.321 --> 01:52.041
not to be understood. We have the incredible

01:52.041 --> 01:57.321
opportunity to change that.
To end, I would just like to say this:

01:57.321 --> 02:01.721
Disability is just a word.
It only becomes a reality when we,

02:01.721 --> 02:06.401
as a society, decide to put the “dis”
in front of ability.

02:06.401 --> 02:10.881
In doing that, inability is implied.
That is far from true.

02:10.881 --> 02:14.641
It is only perceived that way due to a lack
of knowledge about us

02:14.641 --> 02:18.481
and misinformation that leads people
to believe that we are unable.

02:18.481 --> 02:22.161
Because of this misconception,
there is a major lack of opportunities for us.

02:22.161 --> 02:26.401
Therefore, we are deprived of experience,

02:26.401 --> 02:29.521
experience we could use to excel ourselves
like others.

02:29.521 --> 02:33.601
However, Brewability is aiming to change that

02:33.601 --> 02:37.821
with its life-changing concept.
Together, we will

02:37.821 --> 02:41.341
redefine the word disability
and provide the information

02:41.341 --> 02:45.741
people require to look at us as normal people

02:45.741 --> 02:49.261
with a few extra obstacles in our way.
