It\u2019s not every day that you\u2019re in the company of someone who\u2019s a national treasure, truly one of the most inspirational people you\u2019ve ever met and a blinding ray of light. Bebe Vio is that person. She\u2019s my new idol.

For those who haven\u2019t heard of her, Bebe is the European Fencing Champion, the World Fencing Champion and the Paralympic Fencing Champion. She\u2019s also the only fencer in the world to fight without any arms or legs.

The way she talks about her quadruple amputation and her disability is not just empowering, but it\u2019s also full of happiness and will make you howl with laughter. She really is an actual superhero and her outlook on life is something I think all my gurls will benefit from. To quote Bebe, \u201cTo make us happy, we just have to make everyone happy\u201d.
