Illustrated artwork of Samuel Habib smiling and wearing sunglasses, with wind blowing through his hair. He is seated and is holding a device. The background has warm, glowing colors with abstract light effects. The text "The Ride Ahead" is prominently displayed in a bold, stylized font at the bottom right.

The Ride Ahead

Samuel Habib is a typical 21-year-old, itching to move out, start a career, and find love. But no one tells you how to be an adult, let alone an adult with a disability. Can a community of disability activists help him follow his dreams?
