This week’s coolest person in the world is Melanie Waldman, also known as “Little Miss Representation”

When Melanie’s work at Walt Disney World was cut short by the unexpected loss of her right arm due to underlying chronic illness, she took what could have been a monumental serving of life’s proverbial lemons and turned them into sweet, “accessible” lemonade. 

Refusing to become a victim of her circumstances, Waldman set out to chart her own path while using her voice to normalize the role that disability plays in society. The public speaker, yoga instructor, SAG-AFTRA actress, and QVC model is now thriving in her life and career as she honors the last 10 years since her unexpected limb loss and looks forward to exciting new ventures that lie ahead.
