Here is a brief explanation of what happened to me. I'm using video and text, to try and give people an idea of what it might be like to experience a TBI. I also want to inspire other TBI survivors to share their stories and not be ashamed of who you are. I'd like to thank Allison Zopel for helping me gather and shoot many of these interviews. Her support has been critical and inspiring. Thank you.

Creating a cyber-space to motivate and celebrate the abilities of TBI survivors

Hi, my name is Drew Carter and I'm a TBI survivor. I've created this blog to help increase the awareness of Traumatic Brain Injuries and to provide some unique information about TBI. I have been collecting interviews from TBI survivors and experts for about a year. I want to share what I've discovered about the realities of living with a TBI. I hope my passion for life motivates and inspires others. I have a passion for bboy (break dancing), ceramics, making clothes, and most importantly, my spiritual journey. This journey has helped me over my own obstacles and surpass the expectations others had for me. I'll be posting interviews, dance footage, and some of my thoughts each week.
 My next update will describe my story, my struggle to recover from a serious TBI and how my art and spiritual path have helped me stay positive.

Please feel free to comment and I hope you enjoy my little piece of the cyber pie.

Picture of me, drinking from one of my coffee mugs I made. Ceramics, or pottery, is great for therapy and encourages creativity, plus you get to make your own dishes!
