-
- Business
EP 301 - Celia is a disabled founder and Investor, a multi-award winning campaigner, lobbyist, researcher and policy designer, advocating for the improvement of disability equity and accessibility inclusivity.
We discuss Celia's life long journey with Loeys-Dietz syndrome, and her personal and professional challenges. We talk about the importance of representation, access to benefits, and inclusive policies to advocate for a shift towards normalisation and societal integration of disabled people.
We speak about the role of SMEs in fostering inclusivity and how they can become more proactive. We also discuss the necessity for businesses and government bodies to embrace inclusive practices - to consult with disabled representatives for a more equitable and accessible future.
Celia also tells us why ineffective consultation qualifies for the big bin of bulls**t
