MEET AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR

HEIDI JOHNSON-WRIGHT (part 6)


by David-Elijah Nahmod


Ride service providers such as Uber and Lyft also do not accommodate people with disabilities, according to Johnson-Wright.

“Yet we don’t hear the outrage and disgust,” she said. “That is disability discrimination.”

Johnson-Wright’s disability did not play a role in her becoming an attorney. It’s what her father wanted her to do, and it’s what he was willing to pay for.

“I would love to have been an Egyptologist, or perhaps an art historian,” she said. “I also think it would be amazing to work with animals, perhaps for an animal conservation organization. 

But on a more practical level, I could see myself as a college literature professor.”
