  Transcript: rmad.ac/AIAe088 This week's guest is Bella Mohn. Bella is a 22-year-old disability advocate and content creator from Seattle, Washington. At just 18 years old, Bella's life changed overnight after emergency surgery for a heart condition led to paralysis from the waist down. Soon after, she began sharing her recovery journey and spreading awareness about disability on social media. Her hope has always been to share her raw, and hopefully inspirational experience of navigating wheelchair life, while never giving up on her dream of walking again. Today, Bella is a full-time college student studying marketing and communications while living fully independently despite ongoing health challenges. She's also an athlete who plays on the Seattle Kraken Sled Hockey team, and loves to work out, swim, travel, and spend time outdoors, especially with her little rescue dog, Sugar, who is also partially disabled. Bella's journey is one of recovery, resilience, and redefining independence. Through her platforms, she shares the realities of her day-to-day life with paralysis in an effort to educate, uplift, and challenge perceptions around disability, while at the same time encouraging others that no matter the circumstances, it's still possible to find the light and keep moving forward.
