Ardra Shephard is the writer behind the irreverent and insightful blog, Tripping On Air. When she started using mobility aids, she was disappointed to note that there weren't any images - in fashion or the media - of disabled people using their mobility aids, looking GOOD. So she decided to change the narrative!

Ardra is a perfect fit for the FUMS brand - she's another smart-ass MS’er who enjoys a good f-bomb!

Topics covered include:

• Ardra's (brief!) diagnosis story
• Why Ardra felt she had to be the example of a fashionable person using mobility aids in a time which she refers to as "pre-Selma"
• Her exciting role as a script consultant on There’s Something You Should Know, the television series about dating and disability 
• Ardra's experiences - good and bad - with telling her story in the media
