My name is Brandon Castro, I am a 34 year old Political Science graduate from The University of Texas. This blog is a bit of a departure from my degree, but I wanted to share some of the insights and broaden the horizon of public discourse from the perspective of someone in a wheelchair. I am also writing to raise awareness about and for people with disabilities, because I feel it enriches our communal experience by adding richness to a voice that too often goes unheard and unconsidered. In short, if I can make an impression and pierce through the cacophony of voices and change the way society perceives itself and people with disabilities . Then I have accomplished what I had set out to do.
