Maysoon Zayid: "Imam 99 problema, paraliza je samo jedan od njih"

"Imam cerebralnu paralizu, stalno se tresem.", Maysoon Zayid tako započinje ovaj poticajan, urnebesno duhovit govor. (Stvarno, jako je smiješan.) "Ja sam miks Shakire i Muhammada Alija." Dostojanstveno i s puno humora, ova američka komičarka  arapskog podrijetla pripovijeda nam pustolovine koje je doživjela kao glumica, stand-up komičarka, humanitarka i aktivistica za prava osoba s invaliditetom.

Humor, honesty, and resilience cut through stereotypes about disability, ethnicity, and gender. A woman with cerebral palsy describes learning to walk by chasing a dollar bill and being rejected for the role of a disabled character because she was 'too disabled.' Her story lays bare Hollywood’s bias and the everyday barriers faced by people with disabilities. Through comedy and activism, she pushes for more authentic representation in media and everyday life.
