Disabilities are cool. They add to our story and make us unique.' (Anna Grimaldi – Paralympic gold medallist). Our Normal is a series of intimate and honest conversations with some of New Zealand's most talented Paralympians. The athletes tell us about the books, food, music, people, places and taonga they love. They share the challenges they face living with disabilities, and the ways disabilities enrich their lives. And they talk about the assumptions and negative stereotypes people sometimes attach to disability and offer valuable advice and suggestions. Our Normal also features a history of the Paralympics including profiles of Māori and Pasifika Paralympic pioneers.
