    [image description: Gif set of the amazing Stella Young. She’s in a black electric wheel chair and wearing a black and white plaid sleeveless shirt and black pants and she’s on a black stage. The front of the stage is red and it’s backlit in blue with a sign that says “hey 2014”

    Gif 1: Stella Young saying “for lots of us, Disabled people are not real people”

    Gif 2: Stella Young saying: “We’re there to inspire you to think, ‘Well, however bad my life is, it could be worse. I could be that person.”

    Gif 3: Stella Young saying: “I’m not here to inspire you. I’m here to tell you that we have been lied to about disability.”

    Gif 4: Stella Young saying: “We’ve been sold the lie that disability is a bad thing. And to live with disability makes you exceptional.”

    Gif 6: Stella Young saying: “Disability does not make you exceptional. But questioning what you know about it does.” ]
