Raw Talent

Talent. It's easy to confuse the "raw" kind with the "real" kind. We're all born with some flavor of raw talent. Many people forget about their creative ability because they were told at a young age to stop wasting time dabbling with it and get serious about life. Or, like me, they may wish they had one talent and overlook the talent staring them in the face. I was born with cerebral palsy, which makes walking difficult. Yet I believed I would be judged by my talent, not my disability, so I moved from Texas to Hollywood when I was 23. Here's my story, an odyssey of finding the faith to turn my raw talent into real talent.
