I have been watching Kerry grow her career over the past few years. From her posts on LinkedIn she has shown a quick wit and a clear mind on what is important, as well as where she wants to be in the world.   

Why is she important as a guest? Well, apart from being a communications honors student, Kerry also has Spinal Muscular Atrophy and was told she would not see past her 5th birthday. Well, at 23 I think we know who won that bet.   

This episode is a quick look into a world where many of us are not comfortable to enter. A world where parking is a challenge, holiday destinations are decided because of the access and the realities of a COVID world are more scary than most.   

Kerry has an easy way of talking about difficult subjects, and is open to chat. Her access to the working world is made significantly easier by technology such as Dragon Speak, which allows her to keep up with mail through dictation.  

When asked how we can make the world better for people with disabilities, Kerry’s Mic Drop Moment was great. “Ask the person and let them speak. Give them the dignity of trying and don’t simply do it for them.”   

Enjoy the discussion and remember to leave your comments.
