Expanded Wheelchair Football League Launches Third Season_01
As a wheelchair basketball competitor throughout high school, Kansan Riley Blee loved the mental toughness and camaraderie he derived from playing and, after graduation, found himself wishing for an ongoing outlet for his athleticism.
Two years ago, he began satisfying his craving for contact sports by signing on with the USA Wheelchair Football League, whose third season starts in August 2022.
Move United’s league is designed to give wheelchair football athletes the chance to be a part of a team and can allow them to get outdoors. It aims to let them prove their versatility.

2022 July — December Retrospective

Being Michelle_01
“Being Michelle” is a documentary about a deaf woman with autism who survived incarceration and abuse in north central Florida, and now uses her artwork to depict the trauma she survived and heal from her past.
Her story highlights gaps in accessibility for deaf and disabled people in the justice system. While her experiences unfolded within north central Florida justice systems and Lowell Correctional Institution in Ocala, the filmmakers say this is a nationwide issue.
Traditional communication methods can be challenging for Michelle Ricks. Instead, she uses artwork to express the trauma she survived in the north central Florida justice system.
