Rethinking Disabilities Toronto at Arta Gallery

This past Thursday, I was one of the speakers at Rethinking Disabilities Toronto, an event for HR leaders, talent acquisition specialists and DEI practitioners, where I led a session on What We Don’t See: Supporting Invisible Disabilities at Work. As someone who hid my muscle disability as much as I could for 30+ years, it was exciting to be in a space full of disability advocates, sharing my perspective and chatting with people advancing disability inclusion.

From connecting with an attendee who was also diagnosed later in life, to hearing another attendee’s story of how she was only able to explore getting a diagnosis after hearing someone else’s similar story - as one kind attendee said about my session, it was such a life-affirming night. Thanks to Scale HR for having me, I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for future events! 🎉✨
