Monica J. Foster’s red hair is as fiery as her desire to fight.
Born with spina bifida, doctors didn’t expect her to achieve many developmental milestones. “I wouldn’t recognize my own mothers voice,” said Foster. “That I wouldn’t go to school.

Now, Foster is a life coach and an advocate for people with disabilities. According to the most recent United States Census, 1.8 million North Carolinians live with some form of disability.
