Acting What Fun!!

One of the opportunities I have had was to be in what is called an "Industrial". These are videos that are used to train people at certain companies. The Industrial I was in was for Walgreens. It was intended to train their new hires on how to handle different situations. One of my desires is to be able to allow access to realistic images of persons with disabilities and by so doing allowing for greater acceptance. I was inspired by an interview of Ruby Dee and Ossie Davis where they were talking about their passion and sense of responsibility in presenting realistic images of Black America.

Now in 2010 I want to get myself back in shape and "Say yes to who I am". I say get myself in shape not out of vanity but because performing takes endurance and strength, both physical and emotional. To be able to present realistic images of someone with a disability and to promote the understanding that we are all people first.
