What to expect
The inspirational memoir from Paralympian and disability advocate Anne Wafula Strike, updated for 2024
Left partially paralysed below the rib cage by polio, Anne Wafula Strike was forced to flee her native Kenyan village, moving across the country with her family. After overcoming additional adversity, including the loss of her mother and ableist prejudice, Anne moved to the UK, where she discovered her talent for wheelchair racing.
The first East African to compete in her sport, representing Kenya in the 2004 Paralympics before joining Paralympics GB, Anne is now a fierce advocate for the promotion of the games around the world, and a champion of disabled rights.
First published in 2010, and fully updated with Anne’s passionate activism – including her campaign for more accessibility on public transport – In My Dreams I Dance is an incredibly inspiring story about why you should never let others slow you down.
