Chelsea Bear (@RealChelseaBear)

Chelsea Bear is a content creator based in Tampa, Florida who has over 750,000 followers combined across all social media platforms. Her parents began to notice her mobility was limited at just a few months old, but it wasn’t until she was three when she was officially diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Chelsea’s disability impacts the way she walks, and she uses a mobility scooter part time for long distances. She shares her experiences of living with cerebral palsy on social media with educational, fun and lighthearted content that aims to create acceptance and break down stigmas often associated with disabled people. Chelsea loves to highlight accessible travel, adaptive fitness, dating with a disability, and much more, and has garnered millions of views with dozens of videos that have gone viral since she began her content creation journey in 2020.
