Episode 29 - Fight for A Better Tomorrow, But Love Yourself Today (Andrew Reid)

Ainsley's Angels

On Episode 29 of the Together, We Shall podcast, Joe and Rooster welcome Andrew Reid.  Migrating from Jamaica as an undocumented citizen, Andrew shares insight about becoming an American citizen, but also into his spinal injury recovery journey. As an extremely athletic senior at the University of Florida, Andrew woke up one day unable to move and paralyzed from the chest down. Through determination and perseverance, Andrew went from a T3 complete paraplegic to using a wheelchair, to a walker to crutches to one crutch to now using a cane. While paralyzed, Andrew leaned into his creative passion and found his purpose. He has risen to become one of Hollywood’s few Directors with a disability and directed “Ainsley’s Angels: A Right to Run”  presented by On Running. Andrew is also the newest member of Ainsley’s Angels of America Board of Directors.
