Zach Anner 
Award-Winning Speaker, Author, Comedian and Viral Sensation 

The Peckham Community Partnership Foundation Fall Speaker Series welcomes Zach Anner, author, television writer, and award-winning speaker for ONE public session on Friday, October 3.

Zach Anner is a comedian, author, television writer, public speaker, and YouTube personality. Zach’s YouTube videos have amassed over 100 million views and have helped change the conversation around disability. Zach hosted his travel series Rollin’ With Zach on the OprahWinfrey Network, becoming the first person with cerebral palsy to host their own television show.

He is an ambassador for the Cerebral Palsy Foundation and has worked with United Cerebral Palsy’s Wheels for Humanity program to distribute wheelchairs to underserved communities in Nicaragua.

In this inspirational and fun talk “Prepare for the IMpossible: Seizing Moments and Mistakes on the Way to a Purpose-First Life”  Zach will take audiences on a heartfelt and hilarious journey from his childhood challenges to winning a travel show from Oprah. Along the way, he celebrates the people who make even the steepest uphill battles feel like part of the fun. With humor and honesty, Zach challenges the idea of being “self-made,” and defines success as the collective power of community, empathy, and authenticity.
