Pinch me… I had the incredible honor of speaking to Ralph Lauren’s global team this week! 🌍✨

Delivering my “Heart of Inclusion” keynote to a brand that has shaped culture and fashion across the globe was a milestone moment, not just in my career, but in the broader movement for inclusion.

We explored powerful themes including:

  • The power of belonging in the workplace and beyond
  • The importance of accessibility as a foundation, not a feature
  • The beauty in our differences, and how embracing them transforms culture
  • And most importantly… why inclusion is always in style

As a disability speaker and keynote presenter who travels the world advocating for accessibility, representation, and equity, this moment reminded me just how far we’ve come, and how much further we can go when iconic brands like Ralph Lauren engage in these meaningful conversations.

From adaptive fashion to inclusive workplace design, we’re in a global era where accessibility and diversity are not just values, they are expectations. It’s energizing to see that reflected in global events like this one.

Thank you to the Ralph Lauren team for your warm welcome, your openness, and your willingness to lead with heart.

I’m rolling away grateful, grounded, and deeply inspired in purpose.
