The Opportunity of Adversity

Aimee Mullins

A record-breaker at the Paralympic Games in 1996, Aimee Mullins has built a career as a model, actor and advocate for women, sports and the next generation of prosthetics. Defying the associations she says are usually linked with disability, she shows how adversity – in her case, being born without shinbones – actually opens the door for human potential.
