About
Tawana was born in Wilson, North Carolina in 1963 without arms & impaired legs, due to the drug Thalidomide that was given to her mother during pregnancy because of morning sickness, nausea & fainting spells. Her legacy is connected to President John F. Kennedy who intervened in this complicated situation as Tawana’s mother cried out for help. Months later, she was trained as a baby to use her feet as hands. She can do just about anything that someone with arms can do, even braid hair, type, text, and draw beautiful works of art!
Tawana & her husband 'Toby' have traveled across the country more than 28 years giving HOPE in Schools, Churches, Nursing Homes, Day Cares, Boys & Girls Clubs, Prisons, Veterans Associations, Drug Rehab Centers, Colleges, Universities, Sororities, Fraternities, Corporations & Organizations; mostly free of charge!
