Shirley Cheng (b. 1983), a blind and physically disabled award-winning author (with twenty awards, including nine Parent to Parent Adding Wisdom Awards), motivational speaker, self-empowerment expert, poet, author and contributor to 26 books, and a parental rights advocate, has had severe juvenile rheumatoid arthritis since infancy.

After a successful eye surgery, she hopes to earn multiple science doctorates from Harvard University.
Shirley is also the author of 8-award winner Waking Spirit: Prose & Poems the Spirit Sings (foreword by New York Times best seller Cynthia Brian); 7-award winner Embrace Ultra-Ability!
