AXSChat Podcast with Dr. LaMondre Pough, CEO of Billion Strong.

LaMondre is a motivational speaker, mentor, and professional figure in the area of people with disabilities. As CEO of Billion Strong, he leverages skills that enable him to inspire audiences to embrace diversity and create communities where people feel more welcome.

By his second birthday, LaMondre was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy, which compelled him to take steps to improve himself regardless of the incongruity, into new circumstances, and even in every situation.

LaMondre was recently inducted into the Susan Daniels Company's Disability Mentoring Hall of Fame, Class of 2020, for his commitment to civil liberties, social justice, and care for the disabled community.

Her belief is, "When people come together and learn about the world of individuals with disabilities, it produces a shared sense of trust, optimism, and unity for the whole community."

In disability communities, individuals with disabilities can give form to their personal stories, developing confidence. Focusing on experience is most significant when we can dive deep into our identities.

We all benefit from sharing our stories and informing others of what's going on globally. A great deal of progress has been made, but a lot more work remains to be finished.
