Rebekah Taussig is a Kansas City writer and teacher with her doctorate in Creative Nonfiction and Disability Studies. For the last five years, sheâs grown a global community on Instagram, where she crafts these âmini-memoirsâ that take you into her world, experiences and identity, a part of which includes her near lifelong relationship with physical disability and the wheelchair that has given her freedom and mobility and much more. Rebekahâs memoir in essays, Sitting Pretty: The View from My Ordinary Resilient Disabled Body takes you into her life, creating an eye-opening, funny, and insightful portrait of a body that looks and moves differently than most. In todayâs conversation, we dive into all of this. I learned so much not just about Rebekah, her family, life and mindset, but also her passion for writing and creativity and people.Â
