Jimmy Curran at a school assembly

For all those who said I couldn’t

Jimmy Curran · Author, Speaker, Founder

“Disable” means to deprive of capability.

If you got to know me, I don’t think that’s the word you’d use.

I wrote a children’s book, I speak at schools, and I built a clothing brand — all around one idea: we all have limitations and the ability to overcome them.
