Donavia Walker, 16, was born with a rare condition that caused her to not develop her upper limbs in the womb. The disorder known as Bilateral Amelia caused Donavia to be born without arms.
As a result, many people didn’t expect much from her but this armless girl isn’t letting that, or anything else, stand in her way!
Donavia can do just about anything the average teenager can do. She just does it all without arms.

From a young age she had to learn to use her feet to do everything from homework to answering her phone to driving. Donavia also played football at school for three years and even joined the cheerleading squad.
Now, the high school student from Winterhaven is a squad commander on the Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (JROTC).
She hopes to inspire others with disabilities by showing they too can accomplish anything.
“I would say to anyone with a physical condition that you should love yourself and find people who make you feel comfortable with yourself,” she said. “There’s no reason you shouldn’t love yourself.”
