' A life with a disability is most certainly a life worth living and I wouldn' t change who I am for all the Louboutin' s in the world. I write this for anyone who is seen to be ' different' . We all have much more in common than we think, no matter who we are. ' Growing up with Osteogenesis Imperfecta, Sam felt restricted by the labels other people put on to her. After a spinal fusion operation, which almost left her paralysed in her early twenties, she decided to quit her job and move from Lancashire where she' d grown up, to London to start the life she' d always envisioned for herself. In Be Your Own Muse Sam shares how she went from a young girl who was constantly underestimated to succeeding in becoming a strong independent woman who followed her dreams and stopped letting other people hold her back. Frank, heartfelt, inspirational and funny, Sam shares the lessons she has learned, which we can all use in our own lives to have confidence in ourselves, dare to dream and go after what we want in life.
Samantha Renke is an actress, presenter, disability activist, inclusion and equality consultant and keynote speaker. She is a columnist for the Metro and has written a multitude of articles on what it is like to be disabled in a disabling word. She was born with a rare genetic condition called Osteogenesis Imperfecta or more commonly known as Brittle Bone condition and is a fulltime wheelchair user. She has racked up an impressive two hundred and counting broken bones and has had ten operations including spinal fusion and telescopic leg rodding. Samantha has never walked and quite frankly has never wanted to.
