Infographic that reads: More than a third of disabled people we surveyed feel Entrepreneurship is inaccessible to them and many lack the confidence to pursue it as a career option.
Infographic that reads: people with disabilities generally view entreprenship positively and acknowledge its ability to drive employment opportunities and innovation.
Quote from Remi Ray Founder of Tracq - "a lot of workplaces don't understand accessibility. Making people realise the importance of this initiative is hard but we're being invited to the table and things are starting to change."
Quote from Dan Scarfe, CEO of XRAI - "we've had over 30k people experience our product, and we've heard incredible stories from people who've been able to leave the house for the first time in years, or who've been able to listen to the radio for the first time - these are things we all take for granted."
Today is the International Day of Persons with #disabilities (#IDPWD) so thought I'd share this report I worked on: Inclusive Innovation: Unlocking Entrepreneurship Opportunities for People with Disabilities โจ๏ธ

It's for someone dear to me in a heartbreaking legal battle.
Any small amount helps with legal fees to avoid an international relocation where their rights as a parent would be erased.

Elphaba from Wicked played by Cynthia Erivo
Saw Wicked yesterday and nothing could have prepared me for this scene. I bawled like a baby. ๐ญ
Seeing Ephaba being played by a Black woman meant this scene just hit differently. Collective tears. Relatable pain.

Mum visiting from Florida, so took her to St. Paul's Cathedral and a black woman as a reader and black Jesus front and centre took me by surprise ๐ฎ
That would make me so happy! Might start a petition ๐ค ๐
Absolutelyโจ๏ธ. I was disappointed we didn't get to see them in the remake ๐

Front cover of the Spirit Level by Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett
Highlight exerpt from the book. Page 63. "It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society."
Currently re-reading The Spirit Level to remind myself of what I'm trying to work towards.
