In this wonderful TED video, filmed in February ‘09, Aimee Mullins talks about her prosthetic legs—she’s got a dozen amazing pairs—and the superpowers they grant her: speed, beauty, an extra 6 inches of height … Quite simply, she redefines what the body can be. [via]

    Aimee’s TED talk was so wonderful. She’s a fantastic role model for disabled women. (And nondisabled women.)
