When we started this podcast three years ago, we never anticipated that we'd be sitting down to talk with a Canadian Paralympian medal winner — but if anyone can reframe resilience, it's Paralympian Allison Lang. We loved so much about this chat — learning about Allison's sport, sitting volleyball, and how that opened the door for her to move forward from some pretty brutal bullying to become a disability advocate in so many different settings. From brand influencing to speaking about her prosthetic leg in schools, Allison has brought forth an inherently hopeful worldview that reframed a lot of our thinking about resilience.Born and raised in Edmonton, Alberta and now residing in Montreal, Allison is a content creator, speaker, model, and athlete for Team Canada's sitting volleyball team. She was born missing her left leg and was severely bullied for having a disability, resulting in her struggle with body-image and self confidence. Now, she shares her story of self-love and body acceptance in hopes to help others who may be on a similar journey. She is a passionate advocate for those with disabilities with a goal to connect with her community online in hopes to dismantle ableism and create a more inclusive and accessible world!Links: <a href='https://www.tiffanyyu.com/book'>The Anti-Ableist Manifesto</a> by Tiffany Yu <a href='https://www.beacon.org/Faux-Feminism-P2098.aspx'>Faux Feminism</a> by Serene Khader <a href='http://www.annpatchett.com/bel-canto'>Bel Canto</a> by Ann Patchett For more from Allison, check out her <a href='https://www.allisonelang.com/'>website</a> and follow her on <a href='https://www.instagram.com/allisonelang/'>Instagram</a>, <a href='https://www.tiktok.com/@allisonelang'>TikTok</a>, or <a href='http://twitter.com/allisonelang'>Twitter</a> We love hearing from our listeners!
