TGOW Podcast #38_ Steph Aiello, Makeup Artist and Social Media Influencer

As written on Bustle: “In 2010, one day before she was supposed to start cosmetology school, Steph Aiello was involved in a car crash that left her paralyzed from the waist down with limited ability to move her hands and one of her closest friends dead. She would spend the next several months in rehab, gaining sensation in half of her back, but battling major anxiety and depression. A few months later, she found herself in another accident when a drunk driver crashed into the car her family was in, just one block from the hospital. Aiello was also diagnosed with cancer shortly after. And yet, in the face of such adversity, Aiello's courage and resilience not only helped her beat cancer and become stronger, it also motivated her to pursue her love of makeup.”

Steph has also learned she can dance. She has became the co captain of the Rollettes Wheelchair Dance Team based out of Southern California. Teen Vogue wrote, “Steph is a professional makeup artist with over 100 thousand followers on Instagram, an ambassador for Wings For Life World Run — a charity dedicated to finding a cure for spinal injuries — and is singlehandedly proving that disabilities don't have to keep you from following your dreams. In fact, they can be the driving force behind them.”
