Hi, my name is Jessica Pita and I strive to share my story and bring awareness to disabilities.
I am a motivational speaker and content creator. To find out more check out my blog. And to hear the details about my journey read more about me.
One of my favorite quotes that inspires me:
I am invincible, unbreakable, unstoppable, unshakeable.
– Carrie Underwood, “The Champion”.
Not only do I have a podcast and post a bunch of content on social media, but I have also had the wonderful opportunity of telling my story and my experiences at schools and events, inspiring and educating people on disabilities.
I am hoping to expand on this project called “Mission with a Vision” by visiting more schools and more corporate events, so if you would like to get in contact with me, you can do so here.
