Empowerment & Beauty - Wendy Crawford

Meet Wendy Crawford – she’s working for equal and accessible healthcare for women with disabilities and she’s doing it with a unique medium - the arts.

Wendy was injured while driving to the airport for her first international modeling contract at the age of 19. Struck by a drunk driver she was rendered quadriplegic. Growing into womanhood with a disability, Wendy noticed a lack of available information for women with disabilities. As a result, she has devoted her life to raising awareness of the particular issues that women with physical disabilities face – especially in healthcare. Wendy has developed many empowering initiatives. She’s a TEDx speaker, developer of mobileWOMEN.org, an online magazine for women in wheelchairs - now a Facebook Group. She is co-founder of Raw Beauty Project, an innovative art platform that celebrates women with disabilities to empower, educate and inspire change. And, the latest initiative Raw Beauty Project Health, focuses on the disparities in healthcare that women with limited mobility experience, in part due to healthcare inaccessible examination and diagnostic equipment as well as lack of professional training and education.
