    Lady Gaga on Crutches: In her multi-faceted perfor Lady Gaga on Crutches:
In her multi-faceted performances, a collage of opera, rock concert, spin class, fashion and photo shoot, Lady Gaga pushes boundaries and forces audiences to think differently. She is also famously active and supportive of marginalized groups such as the LGBTQ community. In her recent appearances at Coachella Festival, California and Copacabana Beach, Brazil, while singing, ‘Paparazzi’, the singer ambulates across the stage utilizing shinny metal crutches before forcefully throwing them away. The singer’s recent medical issues with her legs and how she struggled to overcome adversity may well have inspired this ‘Gladiator-like’ costume choice. But seeing Lady Gaga normalizing mobility aides in front of an audience of two million was bold and refreshing, making crutches seem almost sexy. I’ve always been impressed with Gaga’s music and advocacy and it felt to me like she was embracing the disabled community and normalizing the use of mobility aides while subtly encouraging all of us to, “be and believe in yourself”.

Heroes 2013

As a boy, Superman was my hero. I had no other role models. Superman was strong and saved the day. He also got the girl. But not everyone can attain this magical status. Though we strive for greatness, we all struggle with the challenges of being human. Our greater selves at times rise to the front until some fear or phobia takes back center stage. Each day we stretch to become a bit better yet it often feels like with one step forward we progress two steps backwards. But we do progress. And we are all Heroes. We all, ‘Save the Day’ and take countless, ‘Leaps of Faith’. In our own ways, we succeed to overcome the forces of Kryptonite and we achieve our potential. We must believe in our mission and see that each day, we are getting closer to ‘Overcoming Demons’ and ‘Winning the Day’. This is what all Heroes do.
