An extraordinarily gifted actress and
motivational speaker. Geri Jewell achieved international celebrity when
she became the first performer with a disability to win a regular role
in a television series. As the beloved "Cousin Geri" in the NBC comedy,
Facts of Life, she challenged viewers by defying and dispelling myths
about disability.
Geri has become one of America's foremost spokespersons on diversity
and disability in the workplace. Throughout her own inspirational
career, she has consistently battled and overcome the groundless
attitudinal barriers that deny the talents of people with disabilities
and that, so unfairly, restrict their opportunities. Now, in corporate
workplaces throughout North America, her compelling presentations
effectively dispel those myths and stereotypes - paving the way for
greater career opportunities for other people with disabilities.
In this Concert, taped before a live audience of 13,000 persons with
disability, Geri Jewell uses her unique comedic talent to inspire
appreciation of ability, diversity and human potential.
