Disability rights are civil rights we often say in the independent living movement. I had to learn that the hard way after having a traumatic brain injury and waiting 17 years to try to find a career again after being told I would never work or function in society again. The independent living movement is a mean movement it's a you movement isn't everybody who lives with a disability I'm proud moment and you should make 2023 the Year that you decide to be more independent and Brave and Bold and that's what I'm going to talk about tonight.:-)!! Sincerely Les Paul of the dreamcatchers empowerment Zone show on the brain injury radio network!

Sometimes I feel so miss understood, some days I just want go outside and Scream why me, GOD!!! Then I get up and renderer just who and what I am and say to myself you know Les Paul you can be a silly guy sometimes because while I am in almost constant severe pain, sometimes bump into people do too blindness in one eye don’t see coming towards me and that I can always feel the rather large whole or empty space in my head I can truly say I fought my way back to victory to become and Advocate & Peer Supporter to help you know you matter being just who you are now! The Proof is in the Pudding Think just like the one you wanted to be is now the one you see Believe in yourself and let it show The power of positive self-talk Letting go of the past Seeking new horizons I think I can, I know I can, I will succeed… Rethinking, re-creating, re-Inventing the positive new you Your future plans Closing thoughts

The independent living movement, which is known to most as the IL movement but people often hear independent living and they think of living in a nursing home which is millions of miles away from what we teach and preach! Whether you have a disability and you work in what is called a sheltered workshop making what is called a sub minimum wage usually $1 per hour or less or at the bare minimum wage. Do you know what is a sheltered workshop? I used to volunteer at a sheltered workshop and I was literally offered $0.19 an hour for a job!

We are Survives First not a disability! For far to long we have often been put last while the professional's who earn the money from us climb the cooperate ladder later of success leave people with disabilities behind in the lurch and that is wrong!  A lot of Money has been made over a very long time that little if nothing ever went to us theSurvivors. Hey Im not hear to just talk bad about disability organizations but instead I will just say if the organization you voulanteer for or work at pays sub minimum wages then I have a problem with that because it shoulddnt be allowed here in America to pay below the minimum wages to anyone just becauuse they have a disablity.  Tonights topics include:  1. Huston weve got a problem 2. No more head games  3. Comunity Iclusion for all 4. Equal Rights for people with disabilitie are disability Rights 5. Your Dream is your reality MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!
