'Tisha UnArmed': YouTube Sensation Shows How To Drive, Dress Without Arms (VIDEO)
"Tisha UnArmed" is the newest Internet sensation.
Unlike most YouTube videos, Tisha isn't doing anything outrageous - she just does mundane, everyday tasks. But something is a little bit different about the way she does them. From driving to getting dress, this 25-year-old woman, who was born without arms and with one leg that is 8 inches shorter than the other, does everything with her feet.
Her videos are not sad - they are hopeful, humorous and frank.
"Hi everyone, this is Tisha UnArmed, and I'm here to answer all of your questions about not having arms. As you can see, I don't have any arms," she says, at the beginning of her videos.
In her latest post, Tisha shows how she gets dressed in the morning.
"Today, we are going to be getting dressed... and you thought I was going to be naked," she jokes.
Using her feet along with a hook, Tisha puts on a bra, shorts and a shirt.
"If you find that you put your shirt on backwards, don't worry. Because of a lack of arms, you can always turn it around," she quips toward the end of her video.
Her getting dressed video has more than 770,000 views as of Sept. 18.
And most commenters have only positive things to say.
One commenter wrote, "Tisha, you are an inspiration! You put people to shame! You don't have a negative attitude, you don't "pity party" yourself and you don't have the 'woah is me' attitude."
Another wrote, "Tisha you are such a great inspiration and role model to show disabled people you can do it. Keep the great positive attitude!"
She told Yahoo! Shine, that she doesn't recall ever getting frustrated by her disability. "It's a combination of my own personality, my stubbornness and my determination to do what needs to be done. And not a lot of people have that," she said. "I kind of feel kind of sorry for those people, because they sit home and feel sorry for themselves."
And when, people assume she can't do certain things people make assumptions about what she can or can't do, "I just prove them wrong," she said. "It's educational for them."
And she's definitely proving doubters wrong with her YouTube videos.
"If I can educate more people to be a little bit more open minded about disabilities and conditions, then I've done my job," she told Yahoo! Shine. "Not only am I educating abled people, but I'm also educating handicapped people to be more independent."
