Not by a long shot.   Along the way, Libo has overcome challenges as an immigrant in a new country, a person with a disability, a mother, and a woman in the male-dominated world of technology.   In Limp Forward, Libo boldly shares her story-both the hard and the beautiful-so that you may feel seen, be reminded of your inherent value, and find the strength you need to face your own challenges in life.   Every journey is unique, but Libo's experiences contain insight that connects us all.
