A Disability Podcast

Hi, I’m Alycia Anderson, and welcome to Pushing Forward With Alycia. As a global keynote speaker, access advocate, and former tech executive, I’ve built my career around expanding opportunity and strengthening culture through lived experience and leadership. Being a wheelchair user has shaped my perspective, but it has never defined my limits. It has fueled my mission. On this podcast, we have honest, forward-thinking conversations about access, belonging, leadership, and the real-world stories shaping our workplaces and communities right now. From digital accessibility and airline travel to culture shifts, representation, and Disability Pride, we explore what it truly means to remove barriers and raise the standard. You’ll hear powerful stories of resilience, innovation, and people redefining what’s possible. This is a space for bold dialogue, practical insight, and pushing past outdated assumptions. I’m so glad you’re here. Let’s keep pushing forward.
