Mission
My name is Broderick Nixon, and I have Cerebral Palsy. I have made it a mission in life to motivate others. I want others to realize they can use their mind to overcome many aspects that bind them to their condition. They can live more just by the motivation of wanting to do more, no matter what their situation, condition or emotional stage.

Motivational Speaker
My name is Broderick Nixon. As a motivational speaker with Cerebral Palsy and a person in a wheelchair, I feel it is my purpose to inspire those around me. I started a business, Dreams to Actuality because I hope to inspire and motivate others to follow their dreams as I follow my dreams. My story began when I was just a little boy diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy, which is a type of group disorder that affects the person's ability to move and maintain balance.
​
When I was a young boy, I would spend time on my grandparent's farm with my brothers and cousins. I always wanted to do what the other kids were doing, but because of my condition, I was not able to play like them.
My brothers and cousins had bicycles to ride around on the farm, and my grandpa saw how it made me sad since I could not ride a bicycle with the other kids. So, he came up with an idea. He saddled up one of his horses and told me, "This is your bicycle; now you do not have to peddle, just steer and say giddy-up horse."
That experience started a passion for horses and cattle that has remained to this day. It also gave me the confidence to do what others in my situation generally are not able to accomplish. I dreamed about going to college and being like everyone else who works hard, graduates, and makes a career for themselves. I made it an actuality and graduated with many experiences most people would not have anticipated me being able to do.
While at college and due to some of my struggles, I began to dream about motivating others like me. I worked with people, groups, and organizations that helped me towards my motivational speaking journey. Now, I have a motivational business and hopefully, soon I'll have a ranch of my own, all due to one man's idea to see me be able to play like the other kids.
