Join me as I unpack their lives, from their greatest failures to pivotal moments that shaped the pioneers they are today.

Frank conducted doctoral research in occupational therapy at the University of Cape Town in South Africa. His phronetic case study with embedded narrative inquiry focused on everyday enactments of humanity affirmations in post-1994 apartheid South Africa, advancing a radical understanding of being human as occupation and health. Before coming to South Africa in 2006, Frank traveled extensively and worked in projects and programs that aimed to advance the plight of children and adults living with disabilities and youth-at-risk in the United States, Nepal, Pakistan, India, Mexico, and Guatemala.
