Disability Lead

Disability Lead

Disability Lead is a network of people with disabilities who use our power to create an equitable and inclusive society.

We accomplish this by Uplifting Disability Power, Influencing and Activating Change, and Making Our Vision Real.

Through events and exclusive opportunities, we demonstrate the power of people with disabilities.

Influencing & Activating Change

We research and communicate the impact of leaders with disabilities; we influence disability inclusion; and we convene peers, partners and communities to reveal solutions that create equity and inclusion.

October Storytelling Event Recap

October was National Disability Employment Awareness Month. We know that sharing stories about our experiences as disabled people is critical to creating workplaces that support us and our growth as professionals. We created a forum to share and uplift the stories of disabled leaders in hopes of disrupting myths and stereotypes on how we live, operate, and thrive.
