Liz Johnson is a Paralympic Swimming Champion and a champion for the rights and opportunities of the disabled community. When she left her athletic career behind and began pursuing a career, she found that the considerations for the disabled community were working against them, not for them. She co-founded The Ability People to help bridge gaps and advocate for disabled people in the workforce. From sparse public transportation to a lack of elevators, it's no wonder why the unemployment rate within the community is so high. Liz is working to show everyone that the way someone is different than you should not be their defining factor in your eyes, but it also does no one any good to ignore those differences. Go to a place of discomfort to be able to grow.

Rita Levi-Montalicini co-discovered the Nerve Growth Factor (NGF). This discovery led to advancements in the way we approach neurological diseases like Alzheimer's and Dementia. Her discoveries were nothing short of awe inspiring, especially considering she was at one point relegated to performing her experiments in a makeshift lab in her bedroom when Mussolini passed laws barring academic and professional careers to non-Aryan Italian citizens- after all, Rita was Jewish in Fascist Italy.
