WheelchairAbility LLC was established by its current owner, Phoenix Harlee, who is also the company's founder. 

After injury, she has endeavored in her creative expressions with an Entrepreneurial spirit. After graduating from "The Women Entrepreneurs of Baltimore," her first venture was Sensuous Touch Publications, to which she sold the erotic poetry that she wrote under the name "Sensuous Messages" - Erotic Greeting posters. She managed to get the line reviewed by Angela Kinnamore, the poetry editor at that time of "Essence Magazine," as well as "Sister 2 Sister Magazine," who actually published a review prior to her debut at the "For Sisters Only" yearly convention and trade show, whose target demographic was Black women.

During her time working for The Social Security Administration, she continued to nurture and grow her home based business. Diversifying her product lines with aromatherapy products, giftbags and other novelty products.

With her experience with riding the Mobility system for transportation, her second business pursuit was wheelchair transportation with a cab driver that worked for the system. She handled the contracts; he drove the vehicle. He had a BAD Attitude issue, which was not good for dealing wit customers. The partnership quickly dissolved.

To maintain her ability to work for The Social Security Administration, she created her first product, "The Leg Straps." Having to independently transfer onto a stairlift from one wheelchair at the top of the steps to another wheelchair at the bottom of the steps for 14 years. Muscle spasms are a major issue for most SCI patients at one point or another. At any given time and always at the wrong time, a muscle spasm can be physically dangerous. Being faced with tumbling down a flight of steps or throwing yourself off at the top of the steps.

The wrong muscle spasm can make that decision for you. She faced that decision every day for fourteen years riding a stairlift. "The Leg Straps" help to move your legs with more control when transferring. Tested for 12 years on a daily basis doing lift transfers independently and when doing car transfers using a manual wheelchair as well.
