"I have cerebral palsy. I shake all the time," Maysoon Zayid announces at the beginning of this exhilarating, hilarious talk. (Really, it's hilarious.) "I'm like Shakira meets Muhammad Ali."
Good Morning Folks,
Today comedian Maysoon Zayid's very funny talk on not letting anything hold you back.
"If there was an Oppression Olympics, I would win the gold medal. I'm Palestinian, Muslim, I'm female, I'm disabled, and I live in New Jersey." Wow, what an amazing person! I believe we need more people like her in the world. And she is funny as all get out. You have to be willing to laugh at yourself and be confident enough to do what she does.
So without further ado, with grace and wit, Maysoon takes us on a whistle-stop tour of her adventures as an actress, stand-up comic, philanthropist, and advocate for the disabled.
Maysoon Zayid to me is an example of struggle and perseverance, no matter the obstacles she struggled every day to achieve her goals. Never heeded the ridicule of his peers at school or negative ideas about disabled people, but rather those were the inspiration to achieve what no one thought she could do. Also, Maysoon gives an example because the love of the father can do miracles and that we can all achieve whatever we want long as we never stop beating or doubt our own abilities.
We can do anything folks. If you too have got “99 problems”, then you need to watch Maysoon rap about why your issues in life shouldn’t hold you back unless you let them.
Let’s have some fun and lets LIGHT UP THE NATION. ITS OUR TIME, together we can do it.
Love Life,
Mitchell D. Weiner
