On this podcast I talk with my friend and Ms. Wheelchair Michigan 2016 Jamie Spore. Jamie was born over forty years ago with the spinal cord defect Spina Bifida, as well as the incurable brain condition, Hydrocephalus. Jamie’s mother taught her at a young age about the importance of advocacy making Jamie very passionate about advocating and educating on the topics of visible and invisible disabilities, Spina Bifida, Hydrocephalus, Depression, and Anxiety. In 2016, Jamie was crowned Ms. Wheelchair Michigan. Throughout her reign, Jamie traveled around the Midwest sharing her platform, “Choose Hope,” and sharing her story to encourage people of all abilities and disabilities to have hope in the face of adversity.We talk about all of these things as well as Jamie's penchant for jumping out of airplanes.
