“Illinois Voices has allowed me to meet new people. I’ve also been able to take charge of my life and be a role model for those people who have trouble speaking up for what they want in front of people. I’ve traveled to different places to do workshops and am blessed and happy to help people by showing them what people with disabilities can do.”
