Ms. Wheelchair GA 2022 - Alesha Savannah

09/24/2024

I know, I know I’m a lil late! Buuuuut! I just wanted to shout out to the fabulous Ms. Wheelchair America, Inc. Class of 2025!! ❤️‍🔥👏🏾

I had the honor of being one of the judges, and I was blown away by their authenticity, confidence, determination, boldness, and sassiness, honey!! They were all incredibly powerful and didn't come to play! It was a fantastic experience to be on the judging panel and to hear about their advocacy journeys while knowing what it feels like to be in their chairs. Witnessing the bonds of sisterhood form among them and seeing their strength during and after the competition was truly inspiring and gave me all the good feels. 🥰

I'll share a more detailed post about this experience sooner or later. Still, I had to acknowledge that these incredible advocates are making a real impact individually and collectively. And to our Ms. Wheelchair America 2025, Tamara S Roberts-Blackwell, keep being your phenomenal self by keeping it very Godly, very demure, very cutesy, and very inclusive! Lolol. 💁🏾‍♀️😍

Cheers to this life-changing organization making a difference in so many lives. I love all of my MWA sisters! ❤️‍🔥🤞🏾🫶🏾✨

Living in my purpose! Thank you God!

After sustaining a spinal cord injury, Alesha Savannah thought her life was over. Instead, the self-proclaimed “people person” has thrived on new experiences.

I’m so excited to be passing the crown to the next Ms. Wheelchair Georgia!! This Saturday we will be at Gallery 992 in Atlanta at 1pm for our Crowning Ceremony!!

This past year has been nothing short of amazing! I’ve done things that I’d never imagined, come out of my comfort zone, been presented with many opportunities, and more than anything Gods vision over my life is becoming more clear!

I’m super excited to be apart of an amazing organization of women who advocate for themselves and others while achieving many great things in a world that lacks inclusion!!
If you’re local, be sure to pull up on us and celebrate our very own Ms. Wheelchair Georgia 2023! And be sure to stay tuned because we’ve got great things in store for 2023 and the communities!!

You know when God calls you to do something and you really don’t want to… But you also know what it feels like to be slapped in the fohead by God, too…

Mmhmm, that was me the other day… had every reason and excuse not to but! I was obedient and showed up and booooy did we have a time!!

I had the privilege of attending the Amazing surrounded and empowered by beautiful, strong women while getting our sexy on with the dance moves with the talented .nicole.armstrong .. now this was dance class #5 for ya girl… as a non-ambulatory wheelchair user… I’ve got to say i left that class feeling: Empowered, Sexy, Deserving of being in the room, Inspired and Impacted!

Not to mention the amazing guest speaker literally being confirmation from God to me! When you show up authentically, what’s for you won’t miss you. And I’m glad i didn’t miss this event!!

To every single woman that made space for me in the room, thank you!! forever grateful for you getting me in the room! 🫶🏾✨

Today takes us to the Peach State to meet Alesha Savannah!
Alesha’s advocacy platform as Ms. Wheelchair Georgia is “Disability is not a curse." One of the many ways Alesha impacts her community is through her volunteer efforts with the Shepherd Center Adventure Workshop. Alesha is committed to eliminating the stigma related with disabilities so all can be treated equally.

to me is knowing that the pain endured and even the pains i haven’t discovered are attached to Purpose. Disability isn’t a curse, it’s been an opportunity to really change my mindset and Live my best life! Cheers to my people who have found their purpose in something that others thought would have crushed them! We’ve realized the crushing is us Becoming! ♿️🫶🏾✨💪🏾🤞🏾
