Teal Sherer is a successful actor and producer in Hollywood with several acclaimed roles on her resume and her own series on YouTube. She also uses a wheelchair.

Teal’s online series, My Gimpy Life (http://MyGimpyLife.com) takes a fun, edgy, and candid look at life as an actor with a disability. Not a documentary, Teal’s production advocates by example, portraying independent living while tackling in situational scenarios issues of accessibility, inclusion, and equal treatment of people with disabilities.

Take a look at Episode 1, “Accessible,” below. Be sure to notice all the independent living that goes on as a foundation to the advocacy about accessibility.
