Happy International Women's Day!

As a female-founded, next-gen disability and neurodivergence support platform, we’re proud to shine a light on women’s inclusion today.

Inclusive workplaces are powerful. We’ve seen workplaces transform when they create environments where everyone can thrive. We believe that true progress is achieved when all voices are heard and valued.

Today, we celebrate all the trailblazing women who are working to create more inclusive workplaces, communities, and societies.

Today, we honor Judy Heumann, a relentless advocate for disability rights, on the anniversary of her passing. Her legacy, marked by pivotal contributions to laws like the ADA and the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, inspires us all.

In this video, Judy reminds us of the transformative power of diversity. She believed in a world where inclusion isn't just a buzzword but a reality that enriches companies and empowers individuals.

Let's heed her words and strive for workplaces where every voice is heard, and every person is valued. Judy, your spirit fuels our commitment to progress.

In honor of , we’re taking a moment to honor the work of Black leaders like Lois Curtis who fought for disability rights and inclusion for all. As a trailblazer in the landmark case, Olmstead v. L.C., she helped secure the right for people with disabilities to live independently. Her courage and advocacy have inspired change, promoting inclusion and community-based support.

We reflect on her and others’ legacy this month as we continue to champion diversity, equity, and inclusion in workplaces.

I hope they have a good breakfast every day, call people on the phone, feel safe.” Below the quote attributes it to Lois Curtis and underneath that is text that reads “Artist, Disability Activist.” To the right is a photo of Lois Curtis.
