About Me

Originally from Brooklyn, New York, Michai moved to Berkeley, CA to the University of California at Berkeley. While at UC Berkeley, Michai became the first person with a physical disability to be a Sexuality Peer Education Counselor in Student Health Services, and studied a year abroad in Cairo, Egypt. In 1996 Michai Freeman earned a BA in Middle Eastern Studies. In 2000 Michai founded Glad To Be Here Inc.due to the lack of empowering reproductive health information for physically disabled women.
