Lisa and Nancy had one special thing in common: they both had disabilities. As their friendship grew into something amazing, it inspired Lisa to look at what was possible for all people with differing abilities. Lisa had not had many limits in her life and understood at the same time what it was like to constantly have them show up. This friendship was the inspiration for an organization created to help people with special needs discover how to become leaders in their lives, like Lisa did, and become leaders in their community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea9fd26605c145d86dcf829/1589060618660-F57ZS99258KQP8DWWXDK/image1.jpg About - Naomi I want to support my son's desire to be a leader; to share my many years of experience as advocate for people with disabilities.
