Inspired by her younger brother who has nonverbal autism and her desire to better communicate with him, Alexis Vance has devoted her studies and career to advocate for awareness, communication and self-expression among people with autism.

Vance, 28, a Birmingham native and graduate of the Alabama School of Fine Arts, recently completed her master’s in behavioral science, graduating with honors from Hunter College in New York City.

It all began with her aspiration to know more about her brother, Raymond, who changed the course of his sister’s career and inspired Vance to seek ways to help other children live more complete lives.
