52. Jessica Keogh - Accessible Voices
“For employers, I think just realizing that people with disabilities have unique strengths. We really are some of the best problem-solvers and very dedicated workers. Working really hard, it's just something that we're used to because we've had to do it our entire lives. And, that carries over into the workplace"
Guest Info:
Jessica Keogh M. Ed
Founder and President of Faith Above my Ability
Jessica is the founder and President of Faith Above my Ability. She is a 32 year old woman with a progressive Neuromuscular disorder that is yet to be diagnosed. Jessica felt called to create this nonprofit as she continually looks to Jesus for her identity and worth. Knowing first hand how challenging life is with a physical disability, Keogh desires to help others as they navigate resources and tools to live independently.
Jessica is currently working on her doctorate and teaches special education full time. Keogh is fiercely passionate, dedicated, and determined to not only make the world a more inclusive place, but change the narrative surrounding disability!
R.O.G. Takeaway Tips:
- Be more compassionate toward others, and ourselves.
Until next week, stay generous everyone!
