Summary:

DR. ANJALI FORBER-PRATT contracted transverse myelitis as an infant, yet this paralyzing disability has never slowed her down. She successfully sued her school district at the age of 14 in order to have the necessary ramps and elevators to have an equal education. DR. FORBER-PRATT has gone on to win just about everything else she's put her mind to. She is a professional wheelchair racer and Paralympian medalist, was a disability policy consultant to the Obama administration, and is currently an assistant professor at Vanderbilt University. Her friend and former teammate KATY SULLIVAN, also an award-winning Paralympian, speaks passionately about Anjali's focus, perseverance and generous spirit. DR. ANJALI FORBER-PRATT's motto: Dream, Drive, Do! Our storytellers share these astonishing women with us conversationally and unscripted; we fact-check afterwards and note any major discrepancies for accuracy.
