Self- Advocate Spotlight
Delmar Davis has published his long awaited book that he says was 61 years in the making. Delmar is 86 years old with cerebral palsy. He has not let that stop him in life.
“Through his deep faith in God and strong self determination, Delmar pulled himself out of depression and oppression, making opportunities for himself in employment, interpersonal relationships, self expression, and advocacy work. While constantly striving to achieve his goals and better himself, Delmar helped his family, friends, church, colleagues, and community. As a church deacon, song writer, public speaker, painter, and self advocate, he became a leader, role model, and father figure to those who needed to see a hero that looked like they did.
Delmar’s account of his struggles and hard won triumphs opens a dialogue that doesn’t end when you read the last page. You will come to understand that the man in the wheelchair on the street, whose spoken words you may not readily understand, has an amazing story to tell, one that will give you inspiration and wisdom for your own life challenges. This book is a door opened, an inside story of hardship, persistence, and the hard work it takes to be heard, to be seen, to be acknowledged, and ultimately to be celebrated.”
Delmar’s book “
That’s What I’m Talking About: The Life of an Ol’ Country Boy with Cerebral Palsy” is available in Paperback and on Kindle through Amazon.
