Kaylyn's World

  I got to interview the amazing, talented, independent, and hardworking Becky Lawson. Like me, she has Cerebral Palsy and doesn't let it stop her. She was one of the first people I met with Cerebral Palsy as well, so I really was excited to meet and talk with her.  Kaylyn Gabbert : I was wondering if we could talk about your Cerebral Palsy since I've never met anyone who is a force to be reckoned with like you who also has Cerebral Palsy. Becky Lawson : I'm going to take that as a compliment! KG : The Cerebral Palsy comment was definitely a compliment 💖 the only other person I met with CP like us before you let it own them. If you ever want to ask about mine I'm an open book My first question to you, how does Cerebral Palsy affect your life?

  Hello all. I know it's the end of Women's History Month, but as women are also currently making history I decided to do a collection called "Women's Empowerment Month". I interviewed women I work with, am colleagues with, and have admired for a long time. There were two things that really inspired this: International Women's Day and I found a very inspirational and informative article in Writer's Digest.

I also hit up a few people in my family members and close, longtime friends.

Starting last year, I was informed of International Women's Day, and I wanted to write something really good about it. I wasn't sure what to write at first though. Eventually, I chose to introduce you all to some of the most badass women of my fictional worlds, of all occupations and ages. Well, this year I'm continuing with that, but I have no updated lovely ladies in the stories I introduced you to last year. I do, however have new stories and lovely, beautiful, intelligent and sometimes frightening women to introduce you to now.
