Sometimes if you want the narrative to change you have to change the narrative – that’s what I’ve realized.

It’s 12 : 48 PM on day 2075 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read Mathew 25: 25-34, have breakfast, learn one new thing – The five toes on a raccoon’s front paws are extremely dexterous, functioning essentially as five little fingers which allow it to grasp and manipulate food it finds in the wild as well as a variety of other objects, including doorknobs, jars, and latches.– and work on my  25 Smiles Campaign   – A chechi who I think would prefer to remain anonymous donated $25 (thanks so much chechi 🙂 ) which brings the total raised to $5 774 only $476 more to raise before Jan 10 2017 (SO SO SO GRATEFUL to everyone who has supported this campaign so far 🙂).

Yesterday I recorded a message to the media because I wanted to do my part to change the story being told about differently-abled people. Watch “My message to the media about the differently-abled” below:
