Women's Empowerment Month Collection: Becky Lawson

  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 đź’– 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? BL : Well, physically speaking, I have Spastic-Ataxic Double Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy . It affects all four limbs, but my left side is worse than my right. I have slurred speech, I walk with a quad-wheeled walker most of the time

Women's Empowerment Month Collection

  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.

I worked with everyone's schedules, and I learned international time zones as well.  I first hit up my writing crew for women to interview, and so many people were willing to help. I also hit up a few people in my family members and close, longtime friends. Not all of my longtime friends and family that I wanted to interview were available, but I'm glad I got to interview who I could. I didn't want to interview only one aspect of their lives, that was my ultimate goal.

International Women’s Day from Kaylyn’s Universes Volume II

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. The link to the first year's will be at the bottom.  An Unnatural Pull to Death:  Lylla’s aunt and uncle who passed away protecting her within the early years of her life are her guardian angels, and they take that job seriously. Since she can see ghosts, they made sure she was that she was never too scared or possessed as a young child. Sadly, as they can’t always protect her, so she also has a living guardian angel but when all else fails a
