Hi! My name is Grace, and I was born with a limb difference on my right hand. I have never let my so-called disability hold me back from achieving my goals and dreams. In fact, my limb difference is a significant part of my success story. Despite the challenges that result from living with a limb difference, I have been blessed with amazing mentors who have helped me to embrace my uniqueness and use it as a way to push myself beyond what I ever thought possible. Now it is my turn to give back. It is my goal to empower others who are living with a limb difference to embrace their individuality and live their lives to the fullest, knowing that they can accomplish anything they put their mind to.
