梅逊·扎伊德: 我有99个麻烦....脑瘫只是其中之一

我有99个麻烦....脑瘫只是其中之一

“我患有脑瘫。我无时不刻不在颤抖，“这是梅逊·扎伊德（Maysoon Zayid）振奋人心而又诙谐幽默的演讲的开场白。（的确，这个演讲很搞笑） ”我就像夏奇拉遇到了穆罕默德•阿里。” 这位优雅机智的阿裔美国人将带领我们回顾她所曾做的一切： 演员，单口喜剧家，慈善家， 致力于维护残疾人利益的社会活动家。

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.
