Welcome back to Fearless, Inspired and Free, a conversation with Dana Wright and the women she has been fortunate to connect with to discuss their life's journey…the great things they are doing, overcoming life's obstacles, navigating their work and personal businesses; becoming Fearless in their actions, Inspired to live authentically and Free to live a life they choose!

Fearless, Inspired and Free Podcast endeavors to build a community of learning, appreciation, encouragement, resilience, growth, acceptance, kindness and support, one story at a time. By listening to these stories of women in our communities, we learn and we grow. We also learn how we can support women. When we support women, we support our communities!

This week’s guest is Auristela Nunez, also known in the hip hop community as “Lady Champ”. She truly does have the heart of a Champion! She is a mother of 2 beautiful young adults and has done it all from dancing around the world, large scale performances, public speaking, event planning and fundraising for her community, music videos and magazine shoots.

Break dancing since the early 90’s, Lady Champ was one of few women in a male dominated arena. She has been the subject of many publications, including a documentary called “All The Ladies Say”. After years of dancing, traveling and teaching, in 2007, Lady Champ found herself paralyzed suddenly from the waist down and doctors told her she would never walk again. Lady Champ having the Champion spirit she did, defied the odds, fought hard and overcame paralysis. She has gone on to continue to teach and organize events for youth to give them a safe space to express themselves and their creativity. You can also find Lady Champ co-hosting on Windy City Wednesdays with Miguel Arteaga on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.

Listen to her story of strength and resilience as she willed herself to walk again after a mysterious illness so she could continue to do what she loves true to the Champ she is. Auristela wants everyone to know “you can make the impossible, possible”. She can be found on Instagram at @ladychampion1 and Auristela Nunez(Lady Champ) on Facebook.
