My Voice Is Not Disabled
A Memoir by Rene Roberts-Nijinsky
Born ten weeks premature and given only a ten percent chance of survival, Rene Roberts-Nijinsky entered the world fighting for her life. Living with cerebral palsy, she grew up in a world that saw her differences before it saw her strength. But behind every whispered doubt and every closed door, she built a voice that refused to stay silent.
In My Voice Is Not Disabled, Rene invites readers into her journey of resilience, laughter, and truth – from the early hospital wards where doctors predicted she would never walk, to the classrooms and stages where she learned to speak for herself and for others like her. With raw honesty and wry humor, she reveals what it means to grow up labeled “disabled” yet determined to live fully, love fiercely, and be heard.
This is not a story of pity or perfection. It’s a story of power – the quiet, hard-earned kind that comes from finding your place in a world that wasn’t built for you.
For readers of The Pretty One by Keah Brown, Haben: The Deafblind Woman Who Conquered Harvard Law by Haben Girma, and When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi, this memoir offers an unforgettable voice, a fierce heart, and a reminder that no life is lesser for being different.
