Lovisa Söderberg

When asked what kind of person she is, 25-year-old Lovisa immediately responds: ‘I am happy.’ She lives in the moment, enjoys nature and exercise. Mobile phones stress her out.

She has a degree in occupational therapy but currently earns a living as a host for one of the most popular kid’s TV shows in Sweden. As a young woman with cerebral palsy, Lovisa saw the job offer as an opportunity to give kids a more diverse image of people in wheelchairs.

‘It may be problematic sometimes to sit in a wheelchair, but that doesn’t mean I am less happy. Whenever I come across an obstacle, I think of how to overcome it, not if I can overcome it.’
