Our guest for this episode is Brianna Pauuwe who lives in the United States and advocates for and supports people with disabilities, with a focus on fitness, wellbeing and community for people who use wheelchairs.
Brianna herself uses a wheelchair, after a life-altering car crash in 2011 when she drove under the influence of alcohol. She owns this experience and says she thinks it actually saved her life and gave her a purpose.
She now works for the Wheel with Me Foundation that supports people with disabilities, including through the world's first fitness app Wheel With Me Fitness - made for wheelchair users by wheelchair users. We’ll have details in the show notes so you can find out more.
And Brianna is passionate about accessibility and doing the things she loves like attending music festivals…and encouraging others to do the same.
She is also really open in talking about relationships and intimacy for people with disabilities. You can find Brianna on:
