“I am the epitome of pushing through. I can talk about almost anything, but hosts love my humor, subtle encouragement, while keeping it real.”
In her books, best-selling author, speaker and disability advocate, Tracee Garner demonstrates what it means to push through. She can talk about any number of subjects, but enjoys sharing stories around:
Overcoming adversity
Dealing with disability and an inaccessible world
Finding support for mental health as a Black women
Working with community supports and services
Obtaining freedom equipment, such as her battle with state rehabilitation to get a modified vehicle she could operate herself, Encouraging others with disabilities as well as their parents that their attitude will have a positive or devastating effect on their child's ability to develop a can-do outlook on life and their disability
Meeting success, navigating all aspects of employment, caregiving, aging while disabled,
Despite "keeping it real" I offer listeners an encouraging and optimistic perspective with humor and grace, helping everyone feel better about their station in life whether they are where they want to be or still moving forward, as a work in progress. Tracee shares about her own bouts of adversity, feelings of less than, comparison-itis, and helps empower listeners and viewers to overcome their own personal, mental and private barriers as well as the one society places on all of us.
