Hi, welcome to my blog. My name is Lacey Reed. I like to go by my nickname, Lacey, but my full name is Aleysa Colleen Reed.

Nay Nay is also one of my nicknames. My sister couldn't say my name when she was little so she call me Nay Nay and my family and friends call me that sometimes. Some people think that I have that nickname because I love horses so much. It works either way.

I have cerebral palsy (CP). The official diagnosis is quadraplegic athetoid C.P. which only means the part of my brain that tells my muscles what to do doesn't give out the right signals to the muscles. It affects my whole body including my speech. I also have specific language and processing disabilities.

My hobbies and interests include computers, horseback riding, art, music, special needs advocacy, rocks and gemstones, swimming, and going to Harstine Island. I am taking classes at Shoreline Community College here in Seattle, WA.

As my junior and senior high school projects, my friend and I started a business making and selling soap. The business name was Spinning Wheels & Co. We sold our soap at the Fremont Market and other places. Besides earning money, our goal was to help the community interact with disabled people in business. After helping run the soap business and also growing up with having my parents run their own architecture business, I would like to own my own business.
