Influencer Uses Her Voice To Increase Representation For People Living With a Disability

TaLisha Grzyb is a YouTuber, mother, influencer and author. In 2019 she made it her mission to demystify the thought of not being able to live life to the fullest, while living with a disability. TaLisha was diagnosed with Congenital Muscular Dystrophy (CMD), shortly after her birth, but that has not stopped her.

As a disability lifestyle influencer, TaLisha uses the power of story telling on platforms such as YouTube to share glimpse into her life. Her YouTube channel, Rolling Through Life with TaLisha, has over 16,000 subscribers and growing!

TaLisha made even more waves when she published her debut book, “Rolling Through Life With Mommy“. This twenty eight page, easy read for children is a heart-warming book of love, family, and overcoming disability. This unique story is told by her three sons (all under the age of 3) who take the readers on an adventure of a day in the life of a wheelchair-bound mother. It shows a new perspective of a struggle many endure but now in the eyes of their children. One of the highlights of the book is to showcase that the adventure is not about where you go, but who you go with.

When asked about the release of her first book, TaLisha states “I realized that having a disability was not something to mourn, but rather a gift from God that needed to be appreciated because it was only given to special individuals with a special purpose in life. I knew that I had Muscular Dystrophy because I had something to learn or something to teach. From that point forth, I made it my purpose in life to inspire others. I told myself that I may have Muscular Dystrophy, but Muscular Dystrophy doesn’t have me. My strong spirit has made up for my weak muscles.
