Lily Brasch delivers a powerful and deeply personal keynote that challenges perceptions of disability, resilience, and the human spirit. Diagnosed with a rare form of muscular dystrophy, she was told she would never walk—yet she defied expectations, not only walking but also conquering physical feats like climbing Camelback Mountain and gracing the runway at New York Fashion Week unassisted.
In her keynote, Lily shares her journey of overcoming limitations—both physical and societal—emphasizing that obstacles are not roadblocks but stepping stones to greatness. She discusses the mindset required to break barriers, the importance of self-belief, and how adversity can be a catalyst for success.
Through gripping storytelling and personal anecdotes, she inspires audiences to embrace their own challenges, redefine what’s possible, and disable the word “disabled.” Her message is clear: We are all Born to Prove—to prove our strength, our resilience, and our limitless potential.
Expect an unforgettable session filled with inspiration, motivation, and a call to action for every individual to push beyond their perceived limitations.
