#Creativity #DiverseMinds #Neurodiversity #ThisAbility #Diversity #disability | Today, as Founder & Chief Purpose Officer of ThisAbility, I joined Diverse Minds (The Neurodiversity Conference, which was the first conference of its kind in the #Advertising and #Media industries), as a speaker via Creative Equals (Ali Hanan) & The Hobbs Consultancy (Roxanne Hobbs). Sadly, due to the horrid weather here in #London, I couldn’t be there physically, but thanks to some human sunshine and magic, I was able to give my talk and join the conference through a live satellite link. That's the power of Creativity and Diverse Minds! ————————————— My talk was on Visible and Invisible #Disabilities, and it seemed to have gone well. All the other sessions and speakers were terrific and enlightening too. We have arrived and are here to demand the value (and worth) we deserve. “Deal with yourself as an individual worthy of respect, and make everyone else deal with you the same way.” – Nikki Giovanni ————————————— Also, a massive congrats, to Ali and Roxanne, for a hugely successful event and for inviting me as a speaker! I’m so proud to be a part of this event, and I look forward to helping you push this forward. As my shero, Cindy Gallop, best said: “Shared Values + Shared Action = Shared Profit (that’s financial profit and social profit).” ————————————— From here, we’ll start making that tangible action, together, and we will make business (and the world) a more inclusive, kinder, fairer, supportive and empathetic place for everyone. We got this! ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 ————————————— “Do not follow the path. Go where there is no path to begin the trail.” — #Asante proverb. ————————————— #ONWARDSandUPWARDS. 👊🏻👊🏼👊🏽👊🏾👊🏿 ————————————— #create #creative #intesectionality #WorkHardAndBeNiceToPeople #BeBraveAndDrivenByPurpose #DontBeADick #BeBoldBeWildBeFearless #FistBumpsOnlyPLEASE #adventure #adventures #NewAdventures #AdventureIsCalling #IAmNOTAnInspirationIAmJUSTLivingMyLife #superabled #IAmSuperabled #MuscularDystrophy (at Internet Advertising Bureau)
