Nevertheless, she learned how to walk and pursued acting. During college, she was a straight A student in her theater department, but was never once cast as more than an extra in a play. Her school performed a play in which the main character had CP, and she thought that would be her chance to be the lead. Even then, the part was given to and able-bodied character. She said “disability is as visual as race, if a wheelchair user cant play Beyoncé, Beyoncé cant play a wheelchair user.” She was furious and asked why she was not given the role regardless of her phenomenal acting. The casting director essentially told her that she would be put under a lot of strain and wouldn’t be able to fit the role perfectly even though she was basically born with the capability to thrive in this role.
