I am thrilled to be back at Sodexo for the second time to speak on their Disability Pride Month Panel, sharing my Heart of Inclusion platform for Disability Pride. This marks my sixth event for Disability Pride Month, with two more scheduled next week. It’s been a busy month, but I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to advocate for disability inclusion. Happy Disability Pride Month! 🎤

Reflecting on our previous collaboration, being honored alongside the Sodexo SOAR Team with the ERBG Group Award Program of the Year 2022 was a career highlight. Delivering my keynote, Intersectionality through the Lens of Disability, for Sodexo’s Employee Business Resource Group (EBRG) Sodexo Organization for disAbilities Resources (SOAR) in 2022 was an unforgettable experience. I am looking forward to more milestones and achievements together as we continue to champion disability inclusion.
