From Paralyzed to Purpose-Driven - My Inspirational Story | Wesley Hamilton | TEDxUMKC
Born and raised in Kansas City, Missouri. After my 24th birthday, I suffered a spinal cord injury after being shot multiple times. I then went into a deep depression. I found myself as a single father in a wheelchair, adjusting to a completely new and difficult lifestyle. I was also dangerously overweight. But my daughter inspired me. My love for her is greater than she’ll ever know. And that love inspired me to take action, and I decided to become a good role model for her. I began a weight loss journey with a fitness and nutrition regiment. My physical and mental transformation was something that I realized had the potential to help others who may be in similar situations. I wanted to help other individuals who were struggling, so I founded my non-profit, Disabled But Not Really. Individuals with disabilities should feel empowered to overcome any mental limits they may have — that’s the driving force of the organization. Born and raised in Kansas City, Missouri.
