Meet Brett! 💚 In case you've missed it, Brett was awarded an Honorable Mention prize in the 2025-2026 "In the Limelight" Video Contest and is yet another compelling example of someone who exemplifies our mission of rebranding disability through achievement. He is navigating life, ice hockey, and giving back with a disability and showing us how limitless his capabilities are. 🏆

He shared, "I was born with a severe hearing loss. Luckily, I have Deaf parents who emphasized accessible communication, especially regarding education. Through their example, I learned to see past the “hearing loss” and recognize the “Deaf gain”: strengths gained as a result of my disability.

I’m more visually-oriented, which fostered a lifelong love for drawing and visual arts. Struggling to understand means I know how vital clarity is in conversation and always make sure no one gets left out. Fluency in American Sign Language gives me a keen eye for motion & expression, which allows me to bring characters to life as a freelance animator! I applied that same “strength in disability” mindset again after my ADHD diagnosis: A brain full of rapid-fire thoughts fuels my boundless creativity as I make connections between unrelated concepts and dream up imaginative ideas.

My disabilities strengthened me into the skilled artist I am today!"

Meet Seyoon! 💚 In case you've missed it, Seyoon was given an Honorable Mention prize in the 2025-2026 "In the Limelight" Video Contest and is another amazing example of someone who exemplifies our mission of rebranding disability through achievement. He is navigating life, ice hockey, and giving back with a disability and showing us how limitless his capabilities are. 🏆

He shared, "as a blind professional, I’ve turned challenges into opportunities for innovation, mentorship, and impact. After immigrating to the U.S. in 2012, I embraced my parents vision of greater possibility and went on to earn my Master of Social Work from Saint Louis University in 2024.

Today, I serve as a Senior Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor with Missouri’s Rehabilitation Services for the Blind, where I help others achieve their vocational goals through counseling, adaptive technology, and guidance. My journey has been recognized with the Missouri Governor’s Council on Disability Youth Leadership Award, and I continue advancing accessibility as a Product Design and Evaluation Specialist on the NSF-funded Inclusion project and as Second Vice President of the National Federation of the Blind of Missouri.

Beyond my professional work, I thrive in adaptive sports as a defenseman for the St. Louis Blues Blind Hockey Club and a tandem cyclist with Achilles International St. Louis—proving that disability is a catalyst for achievement."
