Fresh Perspectives on Disability: Stories from the Community” with Tracee Garner Author of Introducing Disability: An Anecdotal Field Guide For the Rest of Us

Beyond Adversity with Dr. Brad Miller

Tracee is an author, speaker, writing coach, and course creator.

She has written several fiction and non-fiction books, mainly aimed at showing the success of African American people in overcoming adversities.

In this episode, Tracee discusses the strategies and principles to use to overcome her disability. She will also talk about the difference between pity and empathy and encourage people who are stuck in life.

The most essential thing for Tracee is to have a strong social network. It could be anyone who will always be there for you. Therefore analyzing those around you is crucial because they may either elevate or lower you.

Also, you must understand that you have to accomplish something with whatever God has given you. So you just simply work with whatever body you have.

According to Tracee, the difference between pity and empathy is that pity has no empowerment; empathy has. A person who shows empathy not just understands the individual but also offers help to the person.

Tracee discusses her book Disability: A Field Guide for the Rest of Us. The book contains short stories about her journey and is helpful for everyone, not just people with disabilities. After reading each chapter, Tracee put a section called Take Action for you to see the actions you must take in order to mitigate the problem.

Tracee Garner’s story is transforming and inspiring. She is a person who lives without limitation, even with a disability, one who proves that a disability will not hinder a person from achieving a dream and doing all the things.

Episode 257 of The Beyond Adversity Podcast is a must-listen for anyone struggling to overcome their situation or disability—those who are down and thinking that they can’t do anything. This story will motivate you to win the battle and rise from the pressure of your challenges.
