Make A Difference
Trilogy In Motion is a family-run company created to close the opportunity gap using an individualized and intergenerational approach.
Starting in 2014, one hardship after another struck our family, we needed help, but almost everyone we went to shrugged their shoulders and turned their backs. The community and its leaders responded to us with apathy. It seemed that the consensus was that our struggles were perceived as personal, singular, unrelatable—not a community issue.
Disability is the largest minority group in the United States of America and is considered the only group that anyone can join at any time. The Dol.gov sites that there are currently almost 50 million adult Americans living with disabilities right now. At the same time, the WHO acknowledges that there are more than one billion people with disabilities worldwide.
As our family recovered, we worked hard to get back on track and overcome our obstacles; we did all we could, but our hard work was not enough. The opportunity gap began to widen more and more for us, and goals became dreams — indefinitely deferred.
As a family, we decided that we would speak up and act! We would be the guides and that we wish we had, the direction that so many people don’t even know they need—After all, one of the most considerable aspects of the opportunity gap is lack of access which equals lack of exposure. We also realized we worked too hard during this process, disproportionately harder than our non-disabled peers and our non-Black peers. We were exhausting ourselves to keep up. We had to take a step back and decide how to stop this draining cycle for future generations. We wanted to thrive, not just survive.
The mission of closing the opportunity gap is very close to our hearts. We hope to continue to make accessible and engaging educational and lifestyle content that benefits the worldwide community.

Establishing this website, YouTube channel, and complete social presence has been hard work, and that has also come with quite a lot of expenses.
We know much of our business may look fun, please understand that it is quite heavy. We are tackling equity and inequality, financial readiness, special education and healthcare disparities (invisible illnesses/disabilities), generational wealth, racism, education, and mentorship development.

Schools could provide more equitable opportunities to students by making more of an effort to include ALL students in travel-based learning, not just some. Exploring virtual tours is one way to make travel-based education more inclusive.
