Aimee Mullins and her 12 pairs of legs

Aimee Mullins and her 12 pairs of legs | Video on TED.com

This is an amazing video about a woman and her 12 pairs of prosthetic legs. She discusses ways that her "disability" has created opportunities and experiences that she never would have had otherwise. There's a lot of good empowerment their. Plus, some of those legs are really beautiful artwork.

Description from the TED website:

"Athlete, actor and activist Aimee Mullins talks about her prosthetic legs -- she's got a dozen amazing pairs -- and the superpowers they grant her: speed, beauty, an extra 6 inches of height ... Quite simply, she redefines what the body can be."
