Finding the Purpose of the Unexpected with Disability Advocate, Amber Pierson

from Badass Basic Bitch · host Brianna DeMike/Courtney Shields / Amber Pierson

Disability Advocate, Amber Pierson, and mom of Kai, found her life turned upside down at 36 weeks pregnant. Going with her gut, she demanded a scan at a non-traditional time in her pregnancy, which exposed a huge problem with her baby boy Kai who was born with Hydrocephalus. Unfortunately, Kai's diagnosis didn't end there and was diagnosed with Epilepsy, Cortical Dysplasia, Dandy-Walker Brain Malformation, and several others. Kai has had several major brain surgeries including ones to drain fluid and implant shunts. Amber's light never went out as she found a purpose for what life handed her. She found comfort in Emily Perl Kingsley's "Welcome to Holland" and started to turn her view around on what her and Kai's purpose was in this life.  By embracing small steps, Amber has started several businesses which promote inclusiveness, all-capabilities playspaces, and more.  Listen to Amber's story.
