Created a 3D doll of myself as Ms Wheelchair NY 2018





Along my reign as Ms Wheelchair NY 2018 I have had amazing opportunities come my way. My vision also expanded in many directions..with many surprises..and the first to do many things..  Here is an amazing surprise for all of you. I was able to create myself a 3D doll of myself in my wheelchair, crown and sash.  Throughout this journey I saw how important it is to show other girls and boys with disabilities they can become a princess or prince too  just like me

So many times you go to the stores and never see anything like this because often characters play a pretending role in disability instead of finding an actually person with a disability to play that role

How exciting this is for kids with disabilities to say they show an doll in a wheelchair with a crown and sash and she is actually Ms Wheelchair NY 2018

Having this will help me promote disability awareness

Increase self esteem for young ones with disabilities as well as provide them confidence in being okay with who they are

My pose is also representing girl power my motto is girls on wheels are powerful
This is history.. This is truly part of my trina legacy Project


Great way to end the last few days of celebrating black history month

I'll be post posting more about this project and program ill be working on something to give each girl and boy with disabilities to have their own doll of themselves
❤❤❤😍

The lack of accessibility for students with disabilities in schools

Recently I been looking at news media articles discussing the lack of accessibility in nyc public schools.. This also means the ability to fully access the school building. When I was going to school in NYC public schools I always had it in my mind that all public schools were wheelchair accessible weather the location is on the side of the building.

We struggle to be included and fit in with our peers.. be apart of the school community even if it's just simply being able to attend a school trip with their classmates.

I can truly speak for myself. For these past f...
