## Content

Hello! I’m glad you clicked on this link means you are curious to find more of who I am and what I do. I am not good at presenting myself but let’s see…My name is Fotis and I am 33 years old. I was born and raised in Greece but one of my biggest dreams since I was very very young was to move to the United States. I’m still working on this…The second is more trivial… I want to own a Mac at some point as I am a huge nerd for anything 🍏 or related to it. I was born disabled with spastic quadraplegia and this has shaped my life and who I am today to a huge extent.My missionBeing disabled has shaped my personality and character so much that I consider it a blessing now. Had I not been disabled I would have been a totally different person. The fact that I had to deal with hard stuff from a very young age (since birth to be accurate) has made me appreciate life and what it has to give. My mission is to help you that you are reading this and every person that I cross paths with uplift their mindset and skillset and soulset to the best they can be.A dedicationThis blog post and all the content that will follow it is dedicated to all the people who uplifted me over the years and to Angelle who taught me how to smile and love myself.Find me on Social MediaYou can find me on Twitter at @FotisKarioris and on Instagram at @fotiskarioris. If my mission caught your attention you can follow my newsletter and podcast called The Uplifters on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
