Sarah Talbi, the Belgian mom from Brussels who was born without her upper limbs, is inspiring thousands by documenting her daily activities while raising her daughter, Lilia.
Sarah was born without upper limbs and does everything from cooking to painting with her feet. She initially began her YouTube channel to showcase her paintings.
Soon, people began to ask her if she could do other things and how she does them. Owing to their requests and curiosity, she started vlogging her daily activities.
Alongside running her YouTube channel, she also has a daughter to raise, which comes with its own challenges. The Belgian mom explains that her daughter assumes that having no limbs is normal, just like there are people who have other physical disabilities.
She says she cannot really explain how she is able to do everything with her feet. Her brain just adapts to doing things differently. It was natural to her.
“It is a huge achievement becoming a mum,” she said. “It’s my best achievement. But my disability had to adapt to having a baby. Now I have two years of experience, and I can do everything with my daughter. She holds me by my sleeve when we walk along the street. It’s unbelievable. She’s holding it like a hand.”
