Activist Joy Mincey Powell plays Samantha, a young woman with low self-confidence. Everyone Sam meets tells her she's not qualified; she can't do the job because her disability is too great an obstacle. When she begins to trust her instincts and make her own choices, things begin to turn around. Samantha realizes that outdated attitudes about disability are a greater obstacle than any impairment.

With growing confidence, Sam discovers her voice and throws away the old labels. Increase confidence and build self esteem while understanding that labels are greater obstacles than any disability. For self-advocates working on issues of self-esteem and personal pride.
