Reveca Torres- New Mobility’s Person of the Year
Regardless of whether you have experienced her beaming smile in person, or heard of her work, or the organization she founded, Reveca Torres is changing the way you think about people with spinal cord injuries and disorders. An artist, storyteller and humanitarian, the Chicago-based quad is promoting an exciting new identity for the SCI/D community — one that moves beyond the dichotomy of the inspirational and the depressing to a more approachable and real depiction of what people face every day. She understands the importance of empowering people within the SCI/D community, while connecting with and educating people outside the community, and her unique approach to achieving those ends is at the heart of why she is the 2015 NEW MOBILITY Person of the Year.
