Kim highlighted the importance of community support systems in her life [00:11:38].

In 2012, she partitioned her State Senator, Donzella James, to declare February 15th as Transverse Myelitis Awareness Day. She is on the mayor's accessibility committee, a United Spinal Association North Florida Chapter Advocacy Representative, a Christopher and Dana Reeve Peer Mentor, and a volunteer at Brooks Rehabilitation Hospital. Kim organized a Walk-Run-N-Roll and has been a support group leader with SRNA.

In this "Ask the Expert, Community Spotlight" episode, Krissy Dilger of SRNA was joined by Paula Jones, a filmmaker from New Zealand, who discussed her journey with transverse myelitis and how it has impacted her life and career [00:01:34]. She shared her diagnosis story, detailing the sudden onset of symptoms and the challenges she faced during and after her hospital stay [00:02:26]. Paula talked about her struggles with acceptance, the financial difficulties she faced, and her determination to continue her work [00:07:00]. She also introduced her show, "Spinal Destination," which draws on her experiences and aims to bring the disabled community into mainstream media [00:13:51]. Paula started her screen career at the age of 26 in documentaries and was renowned for telling socially impactful stories. Gang Girls, one of her most acclaimed projects, explores the lives of women in New Zealand gangs. Since becoming paralyzed in 2010 by a rare autoimmune illness, she started her own company with two friends and made three more docos, two in Palestine and one in Cambodia. In 2016, Paula shifted sideways into drama, writing and directing two short films, A Matter of Time and Yellow Roses. Both films travelled to international festivals. She also wrote and directed the TVNZ comedy "I Date Rejects" and was one of nine Māori women film makers who made the feature film Waru, an anthology telling a story surrounding the child abuse and death of an eight-year-old child. Paula co-wrote and co-directed WHINA, a feature film about Māori pioneer Dame Whina Cooper, a crusader who, at the age of 80, traversed the length of the North Island--1,100 km from the Far North to Wellington--to protest against the continuing loss of Māori land. Her latest works are co-writing and co-directing "Testify," an evangelical church family drama for Warners NZ, and her comedy series "Spinal Destination," based on her time in the Spinal Unit. She has a master's in creative writing from AUT and is the Director of Whitiora Productions Ltd., and is also mother of three grown children and grandmother of one.
