Keisha Greaves: how to make a difference in other people's lives with muscular dystrophy
At age 24, Keisha Greaves was diagnosed with Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy - at which point, her life changed forever. Rather than be bogged down by her diagnosis, Keisha decided to channel her energy into celebrating those with Muscular Dystrophy and other chronic illnesses. Thus began Girls Chronically Rock and the founding of her other nonprofits: The GCR Adaptive Project and the Trust Your Abilities Nonprofit for People of Color.
Based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Girls Chronically Rock supports individuals in th disability community through inspiring and adaptive tees, hoodies, accessories, and swimwear.
The mission of the GCR Adaptive Project is to make fashion accessible to everyone regardless of ability by providing adaptive fashion supplies and tools to college fashion students so they can learn to design more inclusively.
The Trust Your Abilities Nonprofit for People of Color helps people of color in the disability community access much needed resources and support for their disability (ie. grants for accessible vehicles, uninsured medical equipment, adaptive fitness equipment, and school scholarship, among other needs.)
