Dani and Rudy chat about the ups and downs of being subjects of a documentary film - DANI'S TWINS.
Hi, I’m Dani Izzie ❤️ I created this channel to share my journey as a wheelchair user and new Mom 😀 Subscribe to my channel 🔥 / @daniizzie
When I became a quadriplegic in 2009, I didn’t have any insight into the lives of the roughly 20% of Americans living with a disability. While dealing with my recovery, I also had to grapple with how my identity was being reshaped by social barriers and attitudes that hindered my ability to live and interact with the world in the same way as before.
Over the years, my own understanding of disability has evolved. Today, I believe society is witnessing a shift in the way people like me have a voice and are represented in the media and beyond.
In April 2020, my husband Rudy and I welcomed twin girls into the world. I face the same joys and challenges of any parent, but with some extra twists! Join me on my journey of beauty, love and adventure in a world that is still mostly designed for the non-disabled. I hope my story will challenge biases and equip viewers with new perspectives. Thanks for watching! 😀

    I hope you can emphasize the same thoughts and feelings about having a family and raising children that able bodied people have. Please consider making a statement against the common myth..that disabled people have children to help care for you...NO NO THAT IS NOT IT... like most people...the decision to have and raise children is to explore the new realm of care giver to shaping another human who will become their own independent person and form their own thoughts and ideas and life choices. The excitement of watching and guiding the learning process from potty training and learning numbers and colors and abcs up to helping with college loans and having adult conversations with your grown children. Please debunk that myth that children are to help care for disabled family members. Your girls are not 'mommy's little helpers' anymore than anyone else's kids are. So amazing you are. So mature. Congrats on starting your beautiful family. You both are wonderful.

    Lexi- so true! It never even crossed my mind, because I’ve never looked at having kids as a way to get extra help. I’ve just looked at it as creating family- providing and generating love. Of course I want helpful, considerate children like most parents, but that doesn’t mean I intend for them to cater to my disability related needs. That toxic myth you describe exists and I will touch on it in the future, because I’ve seen disabled parent friends get pushback based on those assumptions. Thank you!
