Disability activist Alice Wong last year was hospitalized and lost her ability to speak. But the San Francisco resident has not stopped her work or quieted her voice.

Reporter Gia Vang features Wong and highlights her tireless work in the video above. NBC Bay Area provided Wong questions ahead of time and she used a text to speech app in the interview.
