It’s the 11th Annual @PADI Women’s Dive Day! Thank you mom for showing me what’s possible after becoming paralyzed due to #transversemyelitis! As a #padiambassadiver it’s exciting to see the evolution of adaptive scuba! Explore the ocean…padi.com/women #padiwomen
Wheelchair Barbie is still encouraging people with disabilities & OBGYN providers to fill out our survey! Click the link below to make a difference in this crucial research! redcap.link/igrace
Are you disabled & visit an OBGYN clinic? We invite you to be a part of a groundbreaking study to address the barriers to care! Here’s the link to the study: redcap.ucdenver.edu/surveys/?s=JLP…
For me, having a Spinal Cord Injury IS Sexy. Commanding. & Imperfect. Today is #SCIDay2023! Let’s Celebrate! Life is short! Rock ON! Can’t wait to present @ISCoSmeetings in Scotland next month to talk about SCI issues & meet SCI researchers! #wheelchairbarbie #paralyzedmermiad
Yo @MartinHeinrich @SenatorLujan I heard there is a final FAA Reauthorization bill! I urge you to support & strengthen disability provisions in this year’s final bill. This critical legislation will make a difference in air travel for the lives of people living with a disability!
So stoked to be presenting “Wheelchair Barbie Goes to the Gynecologist” next week @CraigHospital! #wheelchairbarbie keeps rollin’ around the country educating as many medical professionals as possible! 💖🧜🏻♀️💖#obgyn #cufsf #paralyzedmermaid #womenshealth
It’s @PADI #WomensDiveDay! This #paralyzedmermaid & #wheelchairbarbie wanted to especially thank @SylviaEarle @MissionBlue & All the @TheWDHOF for being FIERCE. COMMANDING. INFLUENTIAL. POWERFUL. & SEXY as hell! You all inspire me! #womendiversrock
After she was diagnosed with #TransverseMyelitis, Cody Unser founded @codysfirststep to raise awareness, advocate for research, and help people with disabilities through activities like #ScubaDiving: bit.ly/3N8Qidv #Diving #BrainAndLife
Today is World Ocean’s Day! When I became paralyzed at 12 years old due to #transversemyelitis, the ocean saved my life from all the fear, doubt & uncertainty! Please join me & my fellow #PadiAmbassaDivers @PADI & take the #SaveTheOcean Pledge! padi.com/conservation/s…
After #TransverseMyelitis left this woman paralyzed, she started a foundation that sponsors #ScubaDiving trips for people with disabilities, including veterans with #PTSD: bit.ly/3N8Qidv @codysfirststep #AdaptiveSports
This journey of self care in aging with disability is a vital one! I just wanted to say thank you to my family & friends from the bottom of my heart at this crucial juncture in my life! More to come later! @KennedyKrieger Let’s do this!!! #baselinebitches #agingwithadisability
On this #EarthDay2023 I have joined my fellow #padiAmbassadivers @PADI & many others on pledging to do our part to protect our Oceans! I am an #OceanTorchbearer…will you join me and become one too?! padi.com/conservation/s… #savetheocean #oceanpledge #padi
I’m so excited to present “Women’s Health and Spinal Cord Injury/Dysfunction: Guidelines, Challenges, and Opportunities in 2023” at The 62nd International Spinal Cord Society Annual Scientific Meeting, @ISCoSmeetings 2023 in Edinburgh, Scotland October 8-11!
Saddened to hear that @judithheumann, The Mother of The Disability Rights Movement has passed away! She moved mountains for a more accessible and equitable world we now sit on! I will forever be grateful! #RIPJudyHeumann
CUFSF is rooting for Brayton Laster, aka @TheOnePizzaMan in today’s @ARCA_Racing at Daytona! Thank you Brayton for supporting CUFSF’s missions…Let’s Go Racin’!!! You Got This Brayton!!!!

#FestivalofHumanAbilities Showing our short documentary today & tomorrow “Changing Lives One Dive at a Time” at 12:45 in the main theatre @AquariumPacific Then, “Sea of Change”, about the neurological & psychological effects of scuba on the paralyzed body at 3 pm! Stoked!
Festival of Human Abilities! Next weekend I’ll be sharing my story of becoming paralyzed due to #TransverseMyelitis and how scuba diving gave me the confidence, freedom, and independence I never thought I would have! See you there! aquariumofpacific.org/events/info/fe…
NEW VIDEO: Despite a recent report detailing the poor health of Lolita (Tokitae) the Miami Seaquarium’s last surviving Orca, the trainers continue to force her to perform exhaustive, high energy behaviours. Of note: The water remains green, murky and gross. #FreeTokitae
