Jessica Cox, born without arms, has turned her life into a
testament to adaptability, resilience, and the power of
possibility. Growing up in Arizona, she faced unique challenges but
developed remarkable strength and dexterity in her legs, allowing
her to live independently and accomplish tasks typically done with
hands.
Despite physical obstacles, Jessica found social acceptance often
more difficult, but she transformed these experiences into fuel for
her inspiring career as a motivational speaker. Jessica has
traveled to 29 countries, sharing her story to encourage others to
embrace challenges and find strength in adaptability. As an
advocate for disability empowerment, she also leads Right Footed, a
nonprofit mentoring children with similar disabilities.
Jessica’s current project, the “Impossible Airplane”—a plane
designed to be flown using feet alone—symbolizes her mission to
redefine possibilities. She hopes to fly it over the 2028 Summer
Olympics, inspiring others to see beyond physical limitations.
