Meet Our Keynote Speaker for the 2021 HHAC Conference!

Meg Johnson

Meg Johnson has motivated people of all abilities with her motto: When life gets too hard to stand, just keep on rollin’! Meg fell off a cliff and broke her neck in 2004, at the age of 22. She spent four months in the hospital recovering from multiple injuries and returned home without the use of her legs, back, stomach, or hands – a quadriplegic. Wheelchair bound and determined, Meg refuses to sit still. Since she was paralyzed, Meg has competed at the national Ms. Wheelchair America pageant in New York, winning the Spirit Award; founded and directs Ms. Wheelchair Utah; instituted a service outreach program; and authored several books. She received the Athena Award, which recognizes inspiring women in business. Meg’s influence is felt around the world as she reaches people through her YouTube channel, newsletter, and presentations. Her story is highlighted in many news outlets including newspapers, magazines, television, and documentaries. Meg has been married to her husband, Whit Johnson, since 2008 and they have two daughters and many tea parties.
