At CherryCoBiz, we celebrate not only health and wellness but also the incredible creators who inspire us through their unique and impactful content. CherryCoBiz is thrilled to shine a spotlight on SBSK (Special Books by Special Kids), a remarkable nonprofit organization founded by Chris Ulmer, a former special education teacher.

The Origin Story

SBSK began as a passion project with the simple goal of publishing a book filled with stories from individuals with disabilities. However, it quickly transformed into something much larger and more impactful. The heart of SBSK lies in its video interview series, which has garnered millions of views on YouTube. These interviews offer a platform for people with diverse abilities to share their stories, dreams, and challenges, fostering a sense of understanding and connection among viewers from all walks of life.

Breaking Barriers and Building Connections

Through these videos, SBSK celebrates the unique perspectives and experiences of individuals who are often marginalized or misunderstood. It breaks down barriers and stereotypes, replacing them with compassion, empathy, and acceptance. By humanizing the concept of disability, SBSK encourages viewers to see beyond labels and recognize the inherent value and dignity in every human being.

SBSK has become a powerful advocate for inclusivity, not only within the education system but in society as a whole. It has sparked important conversations about the importance of embracing neurodiversity and celebrating the richness that different abilities bring to our world.

A Testament to the Power of Storytelling

Since its inception in 2015, Chris Ulmer has interviewed hundreds of people across the world while providing over $1,300,000 to those featured on the channel through a combination of grants and fundraising. Starting in 2016, SBSK has grown into a 501(c)3 organization that seeks to normalize the diversity of the human condition under the pillars of honesty, respect, mindfulness, positivity, and collaboration. This multi-media movement supports the acceptance and inclusion of all members of the neurodiverse/disability community regardless of diagnosis, age, race, religion, income, sexual orientation, gender, or gender expression.

The Impact and Reach

SBSK continues to expand its reach, inspiring a global movement of acceptance and understanding. Its work is a testament to the power of storytelling and the importance of creating a more inclusive world for everyone. Chris and his team have created a space where individuals can share their stories with honesty and authenticity, fostering a community built on mutual respect and empathy. With 3.5 million subscribers, 544 videos, and over 870 million views since joining YouTube in March 2015, SBSK has touched countless lives and continues to promote the beauty of diversity and the strength found in our shared human experiences.
