Two incredibly inspiring women that have overcome tremendous challenges and show us that anything is possible!
Born without arms, Jessica Cox could have lived down to the low expectations that ushered her into this world. In spite of them all, she learned to swim, drive a car, fly an airplane, earn two black belts in taekwondo, graduate from college, surf, scuba dive, and live independently using her feet in ways others who take their hands for granted can only imagine. Jessica holds the title of the first person without arms to get a black belt in the American Taekwondo Association and the Guinness World Record for the first pilot to fly with her feet. Yet, her greatest triumph in life stands far above any physical feat. It is her unrepentant regard for herself a whole person, her high degree of self-acceptance that gives her the freedom and power to insist that society accept her, too, just as she is. Jessica shares her story and encourages people to be creative and innovative with the mantra, “Think outside the shoe.”
