Podcast Show Notes
Series 5 Episode 3
Guest:
In this episode I talk to Brooke Ellison. At age 11, Brooke Ellison was hit by a car, an accident that left her paralysed from the neck down and dependent on a ventilator. Ten years later, she graduated magna cum laude from Harvard University with a degree in cognitive neuroscience. At 23, she penned Miracles Happen, a memoir that was adapted into a movie, The Brooke Ellison Story, directed by Christopher Reeve. Brooke went on to earn her MPP from Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government and a PhD in sociology from Stony Brook University. Today, she is a tenured professor at Stony Brook, a motivational speaker, and a human rights activist.
“Disability is an identified qualifier for my life, but I am neither diminished nor circumscribed by it.” Brooke Ellison, PhD
