It’s her hand movements for me 🥹🥹 Being ZuriAndZuma’s mom is the biggest blessing. Momming with a disability comes with its own challenges, but love remains the theme, and I’m grateful I get to pour that love into my children every day. When a child points and asks “why is someone on a wheelchair,” do you shush them… or do you answer? Zuri is 7, and yes — she’s asked me why I use a wheelchair. My answer was straightforward and factual: I use it for mobility. Just like glasses help some people see better or a ladder helps you reach high things, a wheelchair helps me move. Children aren’t rude for asking. They’re curious. And the best thing we can do is answer them with honesty and kindness. So next time a child asks you, instead of hurrying up away in shame or dismissing them, try this: 1. “I’m not sure, we can ask nicely and maybe they’ll tell us.” 2. “They use a wheelchair because they need it to move around.” Simple answers. Big impact. That’s how awareness starts. #Spinal...
