I always see CP having a motherfucking party. Doctors told my mother she's never going to be able to walk, she's never going to be able to talk. But in other sites of the world I'm just kicking CP's ass.
What does it take to turn a life challenge into a powerful message of hope and determination? In this episode of 'We Are The Stigma', hosts Melissa and Cody Kreutz sit down with Tylia Flores, a cerebral palsy advocate and writer, to find out. Tylia's story is nothing short of inspiring. Born with cerebral palsy, she faced numerous obstacles that could have easily held her back.
Yet, her spirit and tenacity have led her to become a voice for the disabled community. During their chat, Tylia opens up about the misconceptions surrounding cerebral palsy and shares practical ways able-bodied individuals can support those with disabilities. Her positive attitude is infectious, and her message is clear: disabilities do not define one's potential. Tylia's journey through life, from attending a specialized school to enjoying adventures like Disney World, is filled with resilience and joy.
