99 problems but this shouldn’t be one of them: 99 problems but this shouldn’t be one of them: A lot of people in the cerebral palsy community say they want to start advocating, or raising awareness, but they don't know where to start. 💚💚💚 Here are a few tips to get you started. Notice a pattern? You can be an advocate simply by SHARING YOUR STORY! 💚💚💚 So how will YOU advocate for CP in 2021? #nicoleluongo #disabilityadvocacy #advocacymatters #cerebralpalsy #whatCPlookslike #justdoit✔
What comes to mind when I say the words DON'T SETT What comes to mind when I say the words DON'T SETTLE? 💚💚💚 I used to feel like I had to be "the good girl," not to create any waves...like how dare I send food back at a restaurant, or tell a friend she hurt my feelings? 💚💚💚 Now, I don't settle and neither should you! Life is too short to read crappy books, to stay in toxic relationships (raise your hand 🖐 if you've been there, done that?), or to continue on the wrong path. 💚💚💚 So, remember that your feelings matter, what you want matters....and, DON'T SETTLE! #nicoleluongo #whatCPlookslike #thursdaythoughts #neversettle

What I learned is that sometimes a side hustle can lead to something even better than I could have ever imagined. 💚💚💚 I've hustled for years, and someone finally noticed what I can bring to the table. Watch this space for details on what I'll be doing in 2021. #nicoleluongo #whatCPlookslike #advocacy #cerebralpalsy
Pondering all that's been good this year. At the b Pondering all that's been good this year. At the beginning of 2020, I felt confident this was my year, then...well you know what happened to all of us next. 💚💚💚 Despite a few setbacks, I'm still really proud that I managed to book my first PAID public speaking gig, start my own business, and manifest the kind of friends I've been searching for my entire life. 💚💚💚 I know there is so much more in store for the months ahead. I'd love to start a podcast where I interview cerebral palsy advocates. Would you tune in? 💚💚💚 #nicoleluongo #whatCPlookslike #cerebralpalsy #advocacy #2020wins
