There are no limits to what Althea Holmes can do. However, she’s spent much of her life navigating a world that often underestimates what’s possible for people with rare conditions.

Holmes, who was born with Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita, has experienced the loss of her husband and mother. But through resilience and determination, the author, craftswoman and speaker uses her life experience to support others through creativity. Holmes offers a deeper glimpse into her journey and inspires others through a self-published bio-zine called Ewkniklee Mee.

On Thursday’s edition of “Closer Look,” Holmes talks more with show host Rose Scott about some of the most defining moments of her life that led her to attend college and open a business. She also spoke about expanding her magazine to feature other people who have had to navigate life differently.
