Mini-Profile
“Everyday Is A Celebration” and that is what I do every day I wake up, I celebrate.
Whatever my disability(differently-abled)-challenge is, it is NOT, the verdict in MY lives! I am alive and well! We will NOT stop living and advancing because of the challenges in my life!
On May 3, 2002, While driving I was struck by a hit-and-run driver. The impact was so hard that I was ejected out of the passenger’s window of my car! I immediately went air borne a little over 50 feet! I landed on my head. I was on life support for 2 1/2 weeks. Today, I live with a brain injury. “Having a brain injury does not mean that I am brain dead!” Life and living goes on!
I am also a survivor of being molested and raped. The person who did this deplorable act to me, signed my birth certificate as “Father of Child.”
I made a promise to my God and to myself that if my God let’s me back on earth. I WILL DO GOD’S WILL! I WILL DO WHATEVER IS ASK OF ME TO DO! I now have a purpose in life………My proclamation is to help, serve, stand up for the advancement of my disabled/challenged brothers and sisters and children! We do need better laws to protect us! Laws that allows for better accessible entrances in some buildings. I AM YOUR ADVOCATE! THIS IS MY MOVEMENT!!!…I have made personal revisions in my life to get the job done!
Y-E-S, “A Change Has Come Over Me.” Today, my life is joyful, happy and more productive than it’s ever been, because I have accepted that I have a challenge/disability. I have also accepted the fact that I can not control the way another person has treated me in my life, but, I can control the way I treat myself and others. I have also allowed myself to cry when I hurt, get angry when I am mad (not get even)…These emotions are needed on my journey. It does not mean that I am weak, but crying allows me to love myself, love others and finally be free of such hurts and pains. While on my journey, I have found peace inside of myself-I am my tall glass of refreshing water all day-everyday long. I like, love and adore myself and I will continue to “Hold On” to God’s grace, goodness and mercy. In the year of 2006 I was Oprah’s International Chairperson for the disabled for Oprah’s run to win the Nobel Peace Prize (under Rocky Twyman , Director of Oprah 4 Nobel Peace Prize). I will continue to fight for Oprah to win such a deserving award. I am also writing my autobiography. My goal(s) is to have the writing completed by the year 2008. I am also working on recording inspirational/motivational CD’S. Stay tuned for more things to come in the future. If you want to keep track to see whatever I am doing just Google my name, Chandra Leigh Brown.
