In 2015, award-winning photographer, activist and entrepreneur Maayan Ziv had a eureka moment after confronting stairs at a restaurant. Maayan, who has muscular dystrophy, was forced to navigate her wheelchair through a back alley filled with garbage bins to join her group.

She shares her journey from artist to entrepreneur, and why accessibility matters for everyone.
