A stranger walked up and started praying over her — without asking,
without warning.
Leanne Watson lives with Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy and has
experienced her share of well-intentioned but deeply awkward moments
in public. This clip captures one of the most striking: being
approached in a hotel foyer and having someone pray over her without
consent. It’s a window into how disability can make people feel like
public property — and why that needs to change.
