Briana Walker

No matter what life throws at you - dance anyway!

On a bright California Sunday afternoon Briana Walker was driving on the 55 Freeway when she fainted at the wheel of her black Honda Accord, hitting the cement median at seventy-five miles per hour. A young, aspiring dancer, just 23 years-old at the time of her accident, Briana was determined to create an amazing life in spite of her new circumstances.

 One year after her accident Briana became the first female ever to be featured on the cover of Mobility Management magazine. Shortly thereafter Briana became the Krypto Girl for Colours Wheelchairs. Her images have now been used globally on buses and billboards to change the face of disability.

Briana now enjoys skydiving, surfing, snow skiing, wakeboarding, competing in marathons and triathlons, bungee jumping, and most of all - dancing. After meeting another Colours' model, also a dancer and a pioneer in the hip hop world, Briana learned to transform her wheelchair into a dance prop, and they created one of the first ever wheelchair hip hop dance teams to take the national spotlight.

Speaking to groups all over the country, Briana Walker shares her contagious rebellion and inspiring courage with thousands - teaching them the principle - no matter what life throws at you - dance anyway!
