My Neck and My Back

It is the very first episode of The Ramp It Up Podcast! Welcome to the show!

Today I introduce myself to the listeners. My name is Rhonel, I'm Haitian-American, I'm from Miami, I love chicken wings, music, sports, comic books and Japanese anime. And oh yeah, I'm a C5 quadriplegic.

On this episode I briefly talk about my trip to Haiti in 2016 and how I came back to Florida as a quadriplegic. I go over what a spinal cord injury is and a little bit about what life has been like since I had one. Lastly, I share a story about a man, a spinal cord injury, and stem cells.


Question of the day:
Do you know someone with a life-changing injury or illness? What can you do to help them thrive despite their diagnosis?
