"I'm Not Remarkable"😌: An Accessibility Ad by Apple for IDPD 2025!♿️

What a blessing, what a joy!🥹

Humbled to share that i’m part of Apple’s new, accessibility-themed short film / music video, “I’m Not Remarkable” (by Kittyy & The Class)!🥳 This ad highlights how built-in accessibility features across the Apple universe help so many youth like me study, socialize, and succeed in their own ways.🤳

As a power-wheelchair user who’s been blessed to give scores of keynote speeches and performances on stages around the world, i’ve spent my whole life learning to do things differently.🎤👨‍🦼 But this project spoke to me because it flips the usual narrative🔄:

• We’re NOT “subhumans”👎…
• We’re NOT “larger than life”🙇‍♂️…
• We just “Think Different”…and do different!🤷‍♂️

And when accessibility is designed in from the beginning—not added as an afterthought—it doesn’t just “inspire” people with disabilities: it invites us to contribute fully.🛠️ (And that’s true in classrooms, workplaces, homes, and creative spaces alike!🎨)

So as we celebrate the International Day of Persons with Disabilities on December 3, 2025, my hope and prayer is simple: that this campaign helps more leaders, educators, and companies remove real barriers—physical, digital, mental, and societal—so that everyone’s talents can shine!🧎‍♂️‍➡️✨🕊️

Thank you so much to my fellow cast, the crew, the musicians, and of course, Apple, for bringing this story to life and championing inclusion in such a beautiful way!😃
