What I hope to do with this show is to talk about my life…about always trying to belong, but then the ultimate challenge of belonging which is becoming a wheelchair user because you’re going to stand out in any kind of way. I hope with audiences what comes out is a partnership which is the theme. Let me tell you what I’m talking about, what you won’t know unless you’re a wheelchair user. I want people not to feel like I’m preaching at them. I’m coming to tell you what it’s like and that’s my goal –to have humor in it, to have advocacy in it, but to have people in the end feel like they’re a team with me or like their allies…not to feel ashamed or embarrassed. This is not a victim story by any means. ~ Diana Romero
My goal is to educate audiences while creating compelling storylines and characters that engage and inspire, fostering a deeper understanding of the human condition, social justice and advocacy. ~Diana Romero
