I don’t even know where to start!! Or how to fully express my gratitude and excitement… @sophlmorg & I could not be prouder to be partnering with the powerhouse that is @hellosunshine Founded by @reesewitherspoon, Hello Sunshine puts women at the center of every story it creates, celebrates and discovers. And our brand @_making_space_media , a division of @_making_space__ , is centering Disabled voices, with the goal of making systemic, global change for Disabled people. For too long, the stories of the Disabled community have been told for us, not by us. Leading to mis representation, harmful tropes and stereotypes, With Making Space Media and Hello Sunshine, we want to give a microphone to our community telling the untold and unexplored stories. MASSIVE thank you to @lazers77, @sarah_harden22, @sarakrea, Matthew Levy, and of course, my incredible partner in crime Sophie. We are so excited for what this journey has in store! If you are a creative or technical talent in the creative industries – sign up to @_making_space__ – we can’t wait to share the HUGE opportunities that are going to live on our platform soon! We are combining both media and technology to create powerful narratives, accessible and skill-based education and meaningful employment. Let’s go! #RepresentationMatters #MakingSpace Image description: In Deadline, the headline reads, Reese Witherspoon’s Hello Sunshine Partners With Making Space Media On Unscripted Content Placing Disabled Talent Front & Center.

Today, we commemorated the 50th Anniversary of the Rehabilitation Act and 33rd Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act at the White House! We celebrate the formidable activists and advocates who have come before us – we are where we are because of their relentless dedication to creating a more equitable world. And WOW, what an incredible way to kick-start Disability Employment Awareness Month! @_making_space__ @selmablair delivered a amazingly powerful, memorable speech, introduced Biden and honoured the late and great, Judy Heumann @theheumannperspective. And while we celebrate the progress today, there are many, many issues that need urgent attention including: Elimination of subminimum wage: In more than 30 states, Disabled people can legally be paid less than minimum wage. Marriage equality: If a Disabled person is receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), or Medicaid, their benefits can be reduced or revoked upon marriage. Safe and equitable travel: Disability Activist, Engracia Figueroa, died three months after United Airlines broke her custom wheelchair – and sadly this is only one of many stories that showcases be in equities that still exist. Authentic and increased media, TV & film representation: Of the 4.2% of Disabled people represented in film & TV it is estimated 95% of those roles are portrayed by non-disabled talent. And in advertising the stat stands at 0.9% of disability representation, and even worse behind the camera. The full 193 members states of the United Nations to implement anti- discrimination policies: Only 45 countries have anti-discrimination and other disability-specific laws. Thanks to the force that is the disability community, the world is a better place for everybody. Thank you @annaperngpa for making this celebration (and so much more) happen. #MakingSpace #DisabilityRights #Spoonie Image descriptions: 1) Sophie, Keely and President Biden take a selfie, 2) Sophie & Keely shake Bidens hand, 3) Selma, Jim, Sophie, Maria and Keely take a selfie, 4) Sophie and Keely in front of the White House.

Disabled people have been fighting for decades for work from home opportunities, but it was only when non-disabled people and a global pandemic that it was made possible, this showcases the deep seated bias and the lack of Disabled people in decision making roles… We must make space for ✨ flexibility✨ and champion, fund and support the next generation of disabled leaders. @_making_space__ #MakingSpace Check out the on-demand, free and flexible educational and employment opportunities on the Making Space platform with NBC & Netflix www.making-space.com Video description: a close up shot of keely speaking, with a purple backdrop behind her. #DisabilityRights #WorkFromHome #FutureofWork #Accessibility #ChronicIllness #Netflix #NBC
Sharing our disability stories can be hard, but by opening up about our own experiences, we break down walls and show others that they’re not alone. “Kindness is fundamental to everything we do. It doesn’t matter how cutthroat that space is; if you lead with kindness and bring kindness into that space, it’ll keep you remembering why you’re doing it and who you are.” Thank you so much Brittney Oliver @bsoliver for this piece in @thecut 🤍 Sarah (Solomon) Mason & Cassie Conners from @publifyrelations 📸 @acgphotos Link in bio @_making_space__ @_making_space_media #MakingSpace #DisabilityRights Image Description: a white tile with black text and an artistic collage of Keely, a white woman with blonde hair wearing a black tank top.

Disabled Joy this April ✨ In true social media style, I am sharing the highlights. But what you don’t see is the exhaustion, frustration, pain, and extreme lows of the founder journey. As a disabled entrepreneur, adding in the dynamics of chronic pain and illness is also another layer on top of an already hard journey. This month, as part of the Presidential Leadership Scholars, we had the incredible opportunity to meet Arthur Brooks (@arthurcbrooks). He blends research in behavioral science and neuroscience with philosophy and wisdom traditions, Arthur co-wrote the book “Build the Life You Want” with Oprah and has spent time learning from the Dalai Lama (!!) He pointed out that work-life balance does not exist—work is a part of life. The four habits of happiness he shared are faith, family, friends, and meaningful work. Like many entrepreneurs, I used to measure my happiness by the wins. I believed that making a massive impact and creating change were the only times I had permission to be truly happy. What a mistake that was! So here is your reminder to find joy in all of the spaces and places, not just the “wins”. #DisabledJoy #DisabilityRights #MakingSpace Image descriptions #Accessibility: 1.
