About

Hi everyone! My name is Sarah Todd Hammer (I go by "Sarah Todd" as a double name) and I'm 24 years old. When I was 8, I became paralyzed from the neck down. I recovered the ability to walk, but I still have paralysis in my arms and hands. I'm a 3-time published author, speaker, and disability advocate and consultant. I use my channel to inform you all of what my life is like living with a disability, educate on disability inclusion and accessibility, and share some cute outfits! Subscribe to learn more about my life! ☺️
