My bio can be seen below. I am currently producing documentaries for awareness to educate others about parlysis. I for a long time didn't see any disable role models for the African American and Hispanic community. I decided to make my own movies, videos, shows with my family and friends.

When I watch TV, there were no shows, I'm hoping and aspiring that a major network works with me and puts my shows on telivision. I deal with music, life, sex and living. Below are videos that can give you a vision on educated the world about disability.




























































Welcome to my online TV Show In 1987, Richard Gaskin, a Queens NY resident, was shot by a friend over a personal dispute. The result would change Richard's life and those around him forever. The bullet severed his spine leaving him unable to walk. This meant that from now on, Richard would be confined to a wheelchair. Richard's well being now depended on his family and friends, all of whom, fortunately for him, were extremely loyal and wanted to be there for him.
Richard was never a trouble maker or into the negative things that his surroundings had an abundance of. He was a local DJ, and aspiring artist,who was on the fast track to making a career for himself. He also was becoming proficient in Hung Gar Kung-Fu, which taught him the discipline he needed to succeed. It was in part envy over his accomplishments and chosen life ..,that brought Richard to his fate with some one he trusted.

Moving on, Richard would slowly regain his ability to be the artist that he was. As the years went by, it occurred to him that turning his music into a message for young people could encourage them to stay focused and,,follow their dreams, while avoiding the many pitfalls in life.,,

In 2005, after doing a tribute song to Christopher Reeve, a hero of his, Richard was invited by the Christopher Reeve Foundation to per.. at the Capitol Building in the company of Dana Reeve, Hillary Clinton, and other senators.,,politicians, many renown doctors.

Since then, Richard has been asked to per.. at various venues related to paralysis, and has taken part in round table discussions and gala events with New Jersey's Governor Corzine, and Governor Cody, as well Michael J. Fox,and other celebrities who are fighting for research needed to cure paralysis and other degenerative diseases.

In addition to his appearances, Richard has founded an non-profit organization ,,called,the "I Believe Inc". The purpose of the foundation is to promote,,awareness of the research being done and currently needed to help cure the ,,diseases and conditions that affect him, and so many others. This is done by ,,utilizing technology, to make in..ative presentations, and to spread the word ,,via mediums such as audio, video, and the web. This method, in conjunction with ,,live per..ances, will go a long way to getting people involved in such an ,,important cause.

Where's my Mojo

Where's my Mojo

October is Disability awareness month. I'm starting early. Austin Powers wasn't the only one looking for his Mojo. I been looking for my Mojo for several years now. What makes it harder to get my Mojo back is SCI. Along with my condition all the options are either unsafe or a risk. When I was paralyzed, I was young and I bet weather young or adult, intimacy is a concern. September 23, 2009 I went to an Erectile Dysfunction Seminar . When I was first paralyzed my penis would stay… Continue

job and I suggest you watch the show. I was in bed sweating from my UTI

I Believe TV

Hello Friend,I would like to inform you on updates I made with SCI awareness. Since 2005 I have used media from events I attended and footage from Santina Muha's archive.

In August 2009, The Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation awarded my nonprofit I Believe Inc. 24,000.00 to improve the shows quality with new equipment. While it will require more funds to… Continue

This has been a major blow to my desires to date and I turned into this overworked advocate , compensating purpose for pleasure.

Can Paras and Quads date?

How challenging is it already for someone to date when they are in a wheelchair, looking for a date in a club. Very challenging. Many of us are looking for that understanding woman or man. Rarely does 2 individuals in a wheelchair look to each other. Both sharing and already living similar lives why not see what dating each other is like. This is where my purpose comes into quest, to find challenges and possibilities and explore them. Then come back to you and share what I experienced.

VIP Game Lounge 6/26/09

Overwhelmed is my second response,
my first was thank you God for all those you put in my path to make
this possible. I'm still wondering if I should stay humble and not
speak about things that trouble me. If I take it out of God's hands,
I'll be playingcareer suicide, so as I continue to grow patiently with those who have and are supporting me, those
who have the power to manifest purpose immediately and don't I must
continue to be humble. OK, with that

WHEELCHAIR ETIQUETTE

WHEELCHAIR ETIQUETTE


I often meet people who feel uncomfortable around people in wheelchairs because they "don't know how to act". Well, for all of you out there that "don't know", or for those of you who want to pass it along to someone that may need a little wake-up call, here you go!


Always ask the person using the wheelchair if he or she would like assistance BEFORE you help. It may not be needed or wanted.

Don't hang or lean on a person's wheelchair because it is part of that person's… Continue

Life

I learned a long time ago that life is filled with trials and if we learn from those trials that the next mountain we face may be more challenging, but we are better equiped to handle it. I'll have to admit living life in my chair - been in it since 1991 - hasn't been the easiest, but it definitely hasn't been boring. Most people that first meet me start off saying how sorry they are, but I smile and look at them and quickly let them know I'm the last person they need to feel sorry for. My two b… Continue
