Speech Topics


Hellcare on Earth

It’s no secret that the American healthcare system is bad. Like, really bad. Even though it’s been like this for a while, it doesn’t have to be. Especially when it comes to this country’s most vulnerable population: Disabled people. Join actor and comedian Steve Way as he navigates through healthcare history, where it’s headed, and why so many disabled Americans rely on crowdfunding to survive.

Confidence Or: How I Learned to Love MY Wheelchair

Confidence. Self-esteem. Respect. These are all… words. Do we know what they truly mean when we apply them to ourselves? It took Steve Way a really long time to figure it out and he wants to share how he did. But, be warned. This isn’t a story of “If he can do it, so can you.” Join Steve as he leads you through one summer of his life that changed everything for him and made him realize that being disabled is actually pretty dope.
