Rockin’ Start to the New Year

The episode on Wednesday, Jan. 2, from 1-1:30 p.m. (Eastern) is “The Movement 4 Improvement: 4 Wheel City” featuring hip-hop artists and disability rights advocates, Namel “Tapwaterz” Norris and Ricardo “Rickfire” Velasquez. Their mission is to use hip-hop music and culture to create more opportunities for people with disabilities and inspire people not to give up on life. 4 Wheel City performs original music as well as motivational speaking at hospitals, schools, rehabilitation centers, fundraisers and events all over the world.
