Kristin was a strong, athletic college senior. Her body raised "the largest of large red flags," and she pushed right through them. Her story makes the BE FAST warning signs personal: according to the CDC, someone in the U.S. has a stroke every 40 seconds.
When a doctor told her people in her condition usually don't live, "so we don't know what happens from here," she heard possibility: "No one gets to limit me. No one gets to write the ending but me."
Unable to move or speak, she spelled her first word on an alphabet chart: "hairball." Laughter gave her back her voice before her body did.
A lifelong perfectionist, Kristin had to learn to keep score differently: getting out of bed, walking down the stairs, folding laundry. "Sometimes the minimum is courage."
A survivor who went on to direct a college disability resource center, Kristin speaks from both sides of the desk about accommodations, hiring bias, and why people with disabilities deserve "fabulous, full lives."
