Welcome December: A Season to Reflect and Celebrate
As 2024 comes to a close, it’s the perfect time to pause, reflect, and celebrate. This year has been transformational for the Mobility Queen community, with milestones achieved in our mission to champion the needs of the disabled community. From reimagining our website and social media presence to exploring innovative outreach methods, the journey has been one of growth and impact.
Here are some of the highlights from an incredible year and a glimpse into what’s ahead:
Transformative Achievements
Supporting Disability Advocacy
This year, the team not only revamped our communication platforms but also took an active role in giving back. A significant moment was our participation in the Hike Up the Tower event for the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab. It was a powerful experience of camaraderie and advocacy for accessibility.
Amplifying Representation with NBC
One of the standout moments of the year was my inspiring visit to NBC in Chicago. I had the privilege of sharing my story and discussing the importance of inclusivity in media and the workplace. Touring the studios and meeting passionate individuals reinforced my belief in the power of storytelling to challenge perceptions and foster understanding.
Expanding Awareness Through Media
I also had the honor of being interviewed by NCTV in Naperville, where I shared the origin of the Mobility Queen platform and its long-term vision: to create awareness, drive innovation, and collaborate on advancing mobility for all.
