90% of companies say they have a plan for diversity, but only 4% include disability within that.
Disability inclusion is the right thing to do - both morally and for business.
Did you know
Disability is the largest minority group in the world - we’re 25% of the population
Companies that prioritize disability inclusion average 28% higher revenue than those who don’t
73% of the marketplace is directly affected by disability - either through being disabled themselves or a close family member or friend. The combined disposable income of this industry is $8.68T according to the Global Economic Report on Disability 2020
Your company needs to prioritize disability in all departments. I’m here to make that simple.
-
Educate Individuals
Educating individuals on the ways that they can use their voice, vote and dollars to support and build systems for disabled people. We teach about disability rights, ableism, implicit bias, and the ways society was systemically built without disabled people in mind.
-
Workplace Activism
By creating a holistic system to empower companies we build inclusive environments that create access to resources for disabled people, and educate large amounts of people about ableism and implicit bias.
-
Intersectional Justice
Dedication to disability justice means dedication to fighting all forms of oppression. The Nuanceletter is a platform that elevates the voices of people who are disabled from many marginalized backgrounds to give a nuanced look into how ableism plays out in our culture and companies.
So what’s holding you back?
My guess? Resources. You’re here, so you obviously recognize this is a need from both a company and moral stance. But either you lack the time or talent to make big changes to make your company inclusive. Start with my free tool to the right to guide you on your way, and let my team and I create systems to help your disability DEIB practices thrive.

While disabled people make up 25% of the world’s population, they are only shown in media, marketing and entertainment 3.1% of the time. This may seem like an unfortunate accident, but did you know that there was a series of laws called The Ugly Laws that made it illegal for disabled people to even be seen in public - and the lack of representation in society today is reflective of the misunderstandings of disabled people since those times. The last of these laws was only overturned in the 1970s.
We’re launching a brand edition of The Nuanceletter where your team can learn about best practices for inclusion in your external and internal campaigns. This exciting development launches in August!
Hi, I’m Kelsey.
I’m a physically disabled woman on a mission to educate one million people about disability rights and ableism this year. Disabled people still do not have most of the basic civil and human rights that non disabled people have, and I truly believe that if people knew about this they would care. So, let’s tell them together. I started my advocacy work in Cape Town, South Africa working with justice focused organizations that prioritized listening to local people and empowering them with resources they needed to create changes they wanted to see in their communities. I came back to the USA because I saw the issues facing the disabled children I was working with were systemic worldwide, and I wanted to educate people in powerful positions about these issues, and empower them to make meaningful changes.
I’ve worked in the media, marketing and entertainment circles ever since and saw a huge need for education surrounding how to create inclusive content that didn’t fall into stereotypes, tropes, and stigmas that oppresses the disability community. While doing that work I built an extensive network of partner organizations that can transform all areas of a company - from hiring and retention of disabled employees, to building physically accessible spaces, to providing benefits that actually empower the disabled community.
Disability DEIB is nuanced. I’m here to make it as simple as possible by starting the process through education and bringing in partner organizations that I trust to create a holistic plan for your team. Disability inclusion isn’t just the right thing morally, its the right thing for your business too. Let’s create a simplified strategy that’s easy to follow and guided by people with lived experience.
