This is so cool to see!! I myself have erbs palsy and have never seen anyone in person before with this disability. It has ranges of how severe it is and mine was one of the worst. My entire arm was paralyzed at birth due to the injury. However I was blessed with a surgery when I was five by the man that created the surgery to help me be able to use my arm. I now live a normal life and no one is aware of my disability until I tell them. I have limits but nothing is impossible. Seeing her is so incredibly inspiring.
I have brachial plexus palsy, idk if it's the same, but it's similar. I also couldn't move my arm at birth, but as time went on, I gained enough strength to move it. Im 18 now, and I have a limited range of motion. I can't turn my palm up and I can't raise my arm above my head. My arm is also shorter than the other and bends kind of awkwardly. People don't really notice unless I'm wearing short sleeves. I'm seeing an orthopedist for it to see if I can get into physical therapy. I'm so happy I'm not alone, it seems like people don't talk about these types of disabilities very often.
Adaptive athletes need just as much coverage and support as those like Tia, Justin or any other. It's like she said it's community and encouraging everyone to strive to be amazing!!
Emily, you are a BEAST!! Keep it up, Awesome work.

I'd say more coverage and recognition. The fact she can do this with one arm!
Absolutely awesome
you are amazing Emily. I hope to see you at the Games.
