Aftersight Ep. 21: Melissa Simpson - From my Window

Melissa was featured in a short movie, “From my Window,” which is about how she wanted to live life out in the world and not just live through what she could see through her window. She made a commitment to hike a mountain - but she had no idea how she was going to do it. Like the rest of us, Melissa faced a number of barriers in 2020, but she didn’t let the pandemic or cerebral palsy stand in her way. On this episode of Afterisght, Melissa and Penn talk about how Melissa didn’t always feel like a “light,” and about how life was a struggle. But Melissa moved past that, and she turned things around for herself. She wants to go back at those who doubted her and say, “Look at me now!” And, when people see her, they are inspired.
