Can you imagine being seven years old and losing the ability to jump and run and play and spending most of your time in doctors offices? How would you feel about your life and what would you have made of that experience? Well today’s guest, Jenna Udenberg did have that experience and she has used it to catalyze herself and service to share a message about inclusivity and resilience and determination and her book is Within My Spokes and we’re gonna hear from her today. Join us to find out more!
Jenna Udenberg is the founder of a nonprofit called Above & Beyond With U. She is the author of Within My Spokes, a collection of brave stories of resilience including her own memoir. She is a disability advocate and accessibility educator. Jenna began life as an active and athletic little girl. Typical of midwestern families, she kept busy with her family by hiking trails and rock hounding the shores of Lake Superior. Until at age 7 a bad fall while ice skating dramatically changed their lives overnight. A series of Doctor appointments and medical testing led to a diagnosis of Juvenile Arthritis. It was then that Jenna learned to speak up for herself and become her own advocate, educating her classmates about her condition. Jenna became a music teacher and has since won The Bush Fellow Award and dedicated her life and focus to advocate for structural changes to be more inclusive for people with physical challenges. She shares her perspective by writing a column in her hometown paper.
