Wow what a night! (and few days)

It was such fun and an honour to have worked on the accessibility of the Barbie World Premiere with @jimlebrecht @natasha_ofili @elainehallcoach @erynedel @kaitlynyang @theyangfei @1in4coalition Hannah Warren

Thank you @wbpictures for recognising that accessibility is a necessity, priority and should never be an afterthought.

It was incredible to see so many Disabled icons at this mainstream event. This is what every guest list should look like.

@barbiethemovie is definitely a must see. Greta Gerwig knocked it out of the park!

And now, to catch a flight to Washington D.C ✈️

Image descriptions: 1) Madison Lawson & Keely are on the pink carpet, both dressed in pink and behind them is a giant Barbie “B”. 2) Lachi, Elaine Hall, Tiffany Yu and Keely are on the pink carpet, posing and channelling Barbie vibes! In front of the pink “B”. 3) Natasha Ofili, Jim LeBrecht and Keely are in front of a Barbie sign that says “real wells this way” and a Barbie car. 4) Keely standing in front of a pink Barbie lighthouse flipping her hair slightly. 6) James Ken Blackmon standing in front of a giant packaged car wearing a pink fringed shirt looking over his sunglasses.

Keely Cat Wells Instagram - 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.

Keely Cat Wells Instagram - Last night it was an honour to attend a magical holiday celebration at the White House!

Alongside advocates that I greatly admire ❤️

While we celebrate the achievements and how far we have come, there is still so much to do, a few of the issues that the USA (and beyond) MUST change include:

Forced sterilization of Disabled people:
Many states say that doctors can sterilize a disabled person even when that person does not want it. These laws let judges, their family or guardians, make the decision for the disabled person. forced sterilization must stop.

Subminimum wage:
In 36 states, Disabled people can legally be paid less than minimum wage. Allowing employers to pay disabled people less for the same work, solely based on disability.

Marriage inequality:
If a Disabled person is receiving SSI, SSDI or Medicaid, their benefits can be reduced or revoked upon marriage.

Dehuminizing and unsafe air travel:
Disabled travellers and especially wheelchair users who are disproportionately impacted, face risking their safety when flying on planes. #RightsOnFlight

Inaccessible employment:
Disabled people are twice more likely to be unemployed than non-disabled people. We must remove barriers, including attitudinal ones, that prevent employment and career advancement.

A significant absence of media 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% and even worse behind the camera.

Lack anti-discrimination policies from the 193 members states of the United Nations:
Studies on disability legislation shows that only 45 countries have anti-discrimination and other disability-specific laws.

Incredible advocates have been working to change these infuriating facts for decades, and there is progress but as Biden said last night:

“we’re gonna have to defend the work we’ve done and quite frankly defend democracy”.

@annaperngpa, we are deeply grateful for your work & support.

Keely Cat Wells Instagram - @_making_space__ at Apple Park!

We were invited to Apple this week for Global Accessibility Awareness Day.

In an intimate fireside chat with Sarah Herrlinger, Senior Director of Global Accessibility Policy and Initiatives, we delved into various subjects, including disability representation, employment, media, advocacy, and of course, accessibility!

Apple Park is utterly mesmerising. Thank you so much to Apple’s accessibility team for welcoming us and facilitating such an impactful and unforgettable experience — and for all the work you do every day.

Apple announced some incredible new accessibility features this week that are going to help millions of people gain access to speech recognition, haptic music and even to control their devices entirely with their eyes.

Incredible to see this work and can’t wait to return to this amazing place!

Second Image: Keely & Sophie are outside the Apple Park curved building. They are smiling and pointing towards it.

Keely Cat Wells Instagram - Huge news!!!

Today, The White House and U.S. Department of Transportation convened to take action on Protecting the Safety, Rights, and Dignity of Air Travelers with Disabilities,

Attendees included; Secretary of Transportation Secretary @secretarypete, United States Senator for Illinois Senator @senduckworth, Senior Advisor to the President and Director of Public Engagement Steve Benjamin, Kelly Buckland, the Disability Policy Advisor at the Department of Transportation, and Disability Rights Advocates.

The United States Department of Transportation has announced the issuance of a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) on Ensuring Safe Accommodations for Air Travelers with Disabilities. In a nut shell they are proposing:

1. Mandate annual, hands-on training for airline staff and contractors who physically assist passengers and who handle passengers’ wheelchairs.

2. Allow passengers to choose the company that will repair or replace their wheelchair if it’s mishandled with the airline covering the costs.

3. Clarify that airlines must provide prompt, safe, and dignified assistance to all passengers with disabilities.

4. If airlines fall short of any of these standards or mishandle a passenger’s wheelchair, the proposal – if finalized – would make it easier for DOT to hold airlines accountable for failing passengers who use a wheelchair.

The proposed rule also clarifies that damaging or delaying the return of a wheelchair is an automatic violation of the ACAA.

Comments on the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking must be received within 60 days of the date it is published in the Federal Register.

Comments can be filed on www.regulations.gov, docket number DOT-OST-2022-0144.

@annaperngpa thank you SO much!

The proposed rule also clarifies that damaging or delaying the return of a wheelchair is an automatic violation of the ACAA.

Comments on the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking must be received within 60 days of the date it is published in the Federal Register.

Comments can be filed on www.regulations.gov, docket number DOT-OST-2022-0144.

Keely Cat Wells Instagram - 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.

Keely Cat Wells Instagram - 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 🤍

Keely Cat Wells Instagram - Disabled joy this January…

1. Many of us with hidden disabilities have ‘dynamic disabilities’ and some days may be more painful, symptomatic or harder than others. When it comes to mobility aids I have been dealing with my own internal ableism, compounded by the fear that as a founder partners, VCs or colleagues may think i’m no longer capable. As a Disability Rights Advocate who’s spent years working to shift perceptions, I was startled by how deeply this fear resonated within me. If it was not for amazing friends, I wouldn’t have had the confidence to start helping myself.

2. Jumping out of a plane! 2024 got off to a flying start! For some Disabled people, tandem skydiving - jumping out of a plane - is probably safer than standard air travel... That may sound WILD but likely not far from the truth. Thank you to my partner & friend @sophlmorg for arranging this trip but more importantly for founding #RightsOnFlights, a campaign dedicated to making air travel accessible for all and aims to educate Disabled people about our rights when flying.

3. Attending CES and meeting the amazing @_making_space__ team IRL! Making Space was selected to participate in 1 of 10 open booth spots within Eureka Park at CES 2024 - thank you to the Consumer Technology Association for the space.

4. Getting the Making Space mini studio ready for some very cool projects 😎

10 years ago I thought my life was over, nobody except my mum believed or fought for me. Thanks to her, we made it through the worst times and there was light at the end of that very long and dark tunnel.

Off to D.C. next week for an amazing opportunity to make some more space 💕

Keely Cat Wells Instagram - Sophie and I often talk about how we both became disabled at such pivotal ages - 17 and 18,

I gradually entered into the disabled community, through misdiagnosis, medical malpractice, a ridiculous amount of surgeries and so on, and for Sophie it happened instantly, her life changed forever in one unexpected moment.

We both lost so much of our lives to hospital, recovering from surgeries, having more surgeries, recovering again, and the cycle continues.

It has made us incredibly determined people,

Those experiences and loosing all that time makes one realize that you never know when time may get taken away again.

It is also a reminder that there are endless amounts of stories that are yet to be told and endless amounts of people who are yet to be heard.

As Sophie said so well in this interview, “so much of what Hello Sunshine embody is so aligned with our values. If you were to supplant the word disabled in front of women, the narratives that they use to describe themselves are what we and Keely have always wanted to achieve for women and disabled people in general. It felt like there could not be a greater company for us to want to be partnered with and associated with. Everything that they create, and the way they want to broaden perspectives, is exactly what we want to do.”

Couldn’t be more grateful and excited for this next chapter of the journey 💞💫

#RepresentationMatters #MakingSpace

Image description: The Hollywood Reporter article by Abbey White; “How Hello Sunshine and Making Space Media’s Unscripted First-Look Deal Could Change Hollywood’s Disability Narratives

Making Space co-founders Sophie Morgan and Keely Cat-Wells discuss why they teamed with Reese Witherspoon's production company, the kinds of content they want their new deal to produce as well as how unscripted is key to reframing — and mainstreaming — disability onscreen”

Keely Cat Wells Instagram - It’s International Day of Disabled People!

This years theme, set by the United Nations, is “united in action to rescue and achieve the SDGs for, with and by disabled people”.

As someone with a hidden disability I often feel like an imposter, and at times, in both non-disabled and disabled spaces.

The hidden nature of my disability protects me from a whole universe of discrimination and microaggressions, but it also insulates me from potential support,

Living with a chronic illness & hidden disability is complicated and many of us can relate to the 'but you look fine' or 'you don't look disabled' comments, making it harder to ask for accommodations/access requirements.

Similar to the nature of my disability, the community at large faces challenges that many choose to not see, making it harder for advocacy to work.

In a world facing unprecedented challenges, listening and unified action is more crucial than ever.

Keely Cat Wells Instagram - From a conversation about disability rights with President Bill Clinton,

To dinner in The National Archives Rotunda — home to the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights,

And meeting public servants such as Secretary Alexis M. Herman, Secretary Rodney E. Slater, Dee Dee Myers and many more,

The Presidential Leadership Scholars is an opportunity of a lifetime.

After moving to the USA 5 years ago, I could never have imagined I’d be in such rooms with the opportunity to make an impact.

In today’s polarized political climate, to make real change we must bring together public and private sectors, grassroots organizations, and embrace the power of collaboration, as President Clinton highlighted. A take away from this trip was to start with the end in mind.

Keely Cat Wells Instagram - It’s TIME for change….!

Today was an exciting day making moves and making space.

Sophie and I are two incredibly impatient people, a blessing and a curse…

I am currently re-reading Judy Heumanns book and am comforted by her quote,

“Change never happens at the pace we think it should. It happens over years of people joining together, strategizing, sharing, and pulling all the levers they possibly can. Gradually, excruciatingly slowly, things start to happen, and then suddenly, seemingly out of the blue, something will tip.”

Keely Cat Wells Instagram - I can’t quite believe I am saying this, but I am one of two fellows who will be supported by @gloriasfoundation and the ‘world’s most famous feminist’ @gloriasteinem,

The foundation aims to support and nurture the feminist movement, offering tools, resources, and a safe and inspiring space for work and organizing for fellows whose work centers around justice.

There are many Disability Rights issues that disproportionately affect women, particularly women of color and those who are multi-marginalized including:

- Nearly 70% of disabled women are unemployed, exacerbating economic hardships and reducing access to essential services.

- 30 US states still have laws that allow for the forced sterilization. And about 20% of sterilizations performed on disabled women globally are non-consensual.

- 83% of disabled women have been sexually assaulted in their lifetime, compared to 31% of non-disabled women.

- Many Disabled people receiving SSI, HCBS or Medicaid face strict asset and income limits, making it difficult to afford pregnancy and child costs.

- Over 13 million disabled Americans face travel difficulties so accessing abortion care, especially out of state, can be nearly impossible.

And many more.

I’m incredibly fortunate to have always been surrounded by amazing women who push societal boundaries, especially my mum, who has consistently encouraged me to pursue my dreams and defy stereotypes.

I look forward to learning everything I can from this opportunity and putting it to work @_making_space__

Thank you @toryburchfoundation for the recommendation and introduction. The gift that keeps on giving!!

Keely Cat Wells Instagram - I am SO excited to share that I am a 2024 Presidential Leadership Scholar!

The Presidential Leadership Scholars program works as a catalyst for a diverse network of established leaders to collaborate and make a difference in the world.

We get the incredible opportunity to learn about leadership through the lens of the presidential experiences of George W. Bush, William J. Clinton, George H.W. Bush, and Lyndon B. Johnson.

I will be working on @_making_space__, creating innovative and enhanced avenues for employment for disabled people by utilizing technology, beyond compliant accessibility measures and representation to close the education-employment divide and ensure that efforts are integral to overarching business strategies for corporations and organizations.

Thank you to Maya Enista Smith for sharing about your experiences with the program and being the reason I put myself forward.

Kindness is sharing opportunities!

Keely Cat Wells Instagram - What an absolute honour to have shared space with so many incredible activists, advocates, diplomats, politicians, CEOs, grassroots organisers, presidents, philanthropists and leaders, all of whom I greatly admire.

being a Storyteller in Residence at the Clinton Gobal Initiative was a very special experience,

As I told my story on stage today I only scratched the surface talking about the challenges I faced (and still face) going through years misdiagnosis, medical malpractice and trauma, and the challenges living with hidden, chronic disabilities,

Challenges that many can relate to, and many of us don’t speak about. There is a unique aspect to living with conditions so underresearched, disrespected and unknown that adds an extra layer to the complexity for both ourselves and the people around us,

We have to keep sharing our stories, listening to the stories of others and ensure that we change the narrative.

Disability rights are human rights.

Keely Cat Wells Instagram - What an absolute honour to have shared space with so many incredible activists, advocates, diplomats, politicians, CEOs, grassroots organisers, presidents, philanthropists and leaders, all of whom I greatly admire.

being a Storyteller in Residence at the Clinton Gobal Initiative was a very special experience,

As I told my story on stage today I only scratched the surface talking about the challenges I faced (and still face) going through years misdiagnosis, medical malpractice and trauma, and the challenges living with hidden, chronic disabilities,

Challenges that many can relate to, and many of us don’t speak about. There is a unique aspect to living with conditions so underresearched, disrespected and unknown that adds an extra layer to the complexity for both ourselves and the people around us,

We have to keep sharing our stories, listening to the stories of others and ensure that we change the narrative.

Disability rights are human rights.

Keely Cat Wells Instagram - Thank you SO much @rebelgirls and @annabellesbookclubla for collaborating with @_making_space__ and I on this very special event,

What an amazing final celebration and gathering to commemorate Disability Pride Month!

As we know there are not enough brands that prioritise disability pride month, so thank you for taking the opportunity to provide a platform for disabled voices.

There’s nothing I love more than listening and learning from this amazing community and having conversations with young people who want to see a world that is equitable, safe and just for everyone.

When we are given access to platforms, funding and meaningful support - we can accelerate positive change.

As I write this, on a very low spoon count, I am reminded that it is OK to be proud of being Disabled but still have complicated relationship with our medical conditions.

A massive, special thank you also to @probonoasl and @stephbohn, Lucy & Sadie,

As well as @imtiffanyyu @charleyroyall @mariealyse_ @miraclepelayoofficial @lovingmydots @marisahamamoto @elisa.richards @theatouchton @verityvandams @dorayucas and so many others for your support.

Keely Cat Wells Instagram - Until next time D.C. ✈️ 👋

The last few days have been equally as exciting as they have exhausting!

Massive congratulations to @maria_town and her team at @aapdofficial for a wonderful event celebrating the 33rd anniversary of the ADA. It was incredible being in a room with so many leaders and changemakers including @senduckworth, @margauxjoffe, @jennifer.lee1, @andraealavant, @sheisjamiet @cascade4ever @kiknack @carlyfahey and so many more,

In addition and thanks to Anna Perng and AAPD, for a very special experience - I was able to take my mum to the White House! She has been with me through everything, including the very lowest and hardest parts of my disability journey so far.

And, one of my favourite humans @thetexastroya and I were also able to roam around the White House!

We saw“Rent” in concert the symphonic world premiere starring @alistroker who absolutely crushed it!

All while trying keep up with the exciting things happening at @_making_space__ and @_making_space_media… (last photo says it all 😆)

The ADA did not miraculously make America accessible & equitable, it was a major milestone but we do have a LONG way to go, and it certainly does not take away the nuances of medical conditions, but I am proud of being in a community that is constantly demanding and creating change.

Keely Cat Wells Instagram - Today I had the tremendous honour of being seated around a table with @vp Vice President Kamala Harris,

Department of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg,

Department of Transportation Disability Policy Advisor Kelly Bucklund,

The Honourable Tony Coelho,

and Disability Rights leaders and advocates.

Disabled people are impacted daily by inaccessible transportation, creating significant barriers to employment, education, healthcare, and community.

This lack of accessible transit fundamentally inhibits our independence, quality of life, and full participation in society, underscoring the urgent need for equitable solutions.

During todays convening on accessible transportation the The Vice President said, “An accessible America is a better America”. And the following items were discussed,

• Department of Transportation (DOT) Accessible Lavatories on Aircraft rule
• Accessible Air Travel
• All Stations Accessibility Program
• Airport Terminals Program
• US Access Board and DOT
• Enhanced Mobility of Seniors & Individuals with Disabilities Section 5310

I am left with an overwhelming sense of gratitude and hope.

I am so thankful to those who have been doing this work for decades, and people like my friend and business partner, @sophlmorg who has positively impacted the lives of so many disabled people and has made critical legislative change.

Thank you @annaperngpa for your incredible work and including us in today’s conversation.

And thank you @em_vrabel for being an amazing advocate & team member.

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.

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!

Wow what a night! (and few days)

It was such fun and an honour to have worked on the accessibility of the Barbie World Premiere with @jimlebrecht @natasha_ofili @elainehallcoach @erynedel @kaitlynyang @theyangfei @1in4coalition Hannah Warren

Thank you @wbpictures for recognising that accessibility is a necessity, priority and should never be an afterthought.

It was incredible to see so many Disabled icons at this mainstream event. This is what every guest list should look like.

@barbiethemovie is definitely a must see. Greta Gerwig knocked it out of the park!

And now, to catch a flight to Washington D.C ✈️

Image descriptions: 1) Madison Lawson & Keely are on the pink carpet, both dressed in pink and behind them is a giant Barbie “B”. 2) Lachi, Elaine Hall, Tiffany Yu and Keely are on the pink carpet, posing and channelling Barbie vibes! In front of the pink “B”. 3) Natasha Ofili, Jim LeBrecht and Keely are in front of a Barbie sign that says “real wells this way” and a Barbie car. 4) Keely standing in front of a pink Barbie lighthouse flipping her hair slightly. 6) James Ken Blackmon standing in front of a giant packaged car wearing a pink fringed shirt looking over his sunglasses.

Keely Cat Wells - 1.2K Likes - 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.

Keely Cat Wells - 1K Likes - Last night it was an honour to attend a magical holiday celebration at the White House!

Alongside advocates that I greatly admire ❤️

While we celebrate the achievements and how far we have come, there is still so much to do, a few of the issues that the USA (and beyond) MUST change include:

Forced sterilization of Disabled people:
Many states say that doctors can sterilize a disabled person even when that person does not want it. These laws let judges, their family or guardians, make the decision for the disabled person. forced sterilization must stop.

Subminimum wage:
In 36 states, Disabled people can legally be paid less than minimum wage. Allowing employers to pay disabled people less for the same work, solely based on disability.

Marriage inequality:
If a Disabled person is receiving SSI, SSDI or Medicaid, their benefits can be reduced or revoked upon marriage.

Dehuminizing and unsafe air travel:
Disabled travellers and especially wheelchair users who are disproportionately impacted, face risking their safety when flying on planes. #RightsOnFlight

Inaccessible employment:
Disabled people are twice more likely to be unemployed than non-disabled people. We must remove barriers, including attitudinal ones, that prevent employment and career advancement.

A significant absence of media 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% and even worse behind the camera.

Lack anti-discrimination policies from the 193 members states of the United Nations:
Studies on disability legislation shows that only 45 countries have anti-discrimination and other disability-specific laws.

Incredible advocates have been working to change these infuriating facts for decades, and there is progress but as Biden said last night:

“we’re gonna have to defend the work we’ve done and quite frankly defend democracy”.

@annaperngpa, we are deeply grateful for your work & support.

While we celebrate the achievements and how far we have come, there is still so much to do, a few of the issues that the USA (and beyond) MUST change include:

Forced sterilization of Disabled people:
Many states say that doctors can sterilize a disabled person even when that person does not want it. These laws let judges, their family or guardians, make the decision for the disabled person. forced sterilization must stop.

Subminimum wage:
In 36 states, Disabled people can legally be paid less than minimum wage. Allowing employers to pay disabled people less for the same work, solely based on disability.

Marriage inequality:
If a Disabled person is receiving SSI, SSDI or Medicaid, their benefits can be reduced or revoked upon marriage.

Dehuminizing and unsafe air travel:
Disabled travellers and especially wheelchair users who are disproportionately impacted, face risking their safety when flying on planes. #RightsOnFlight

Inaccessible employment:
Disabled people are twice more likely to be unemployed than non-disabled people. We must remove barriers, including attitudinal ones, that prevent employment and career advancement.

A significant absence of media 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% and even worse behind the camera.

Lack anti-discrimination policies from the 193 members states of the United Nations:
Studies on disability legislation shows that only 45 countries have anti-discrimination and other disability-specific laws.

We were invited to Apple this week for Global Accessibility Awareness Day.

In an intimate fireside chat with Sarah Herrlinger, Senior Director of Global Accessibility Policy and Initiatives, we delved into various subjects, including disability representation, employment, media, advocacy, and of course, accessibility!

Apple Park is utterly mesmerising. Thank you so much to Apple’s accessibility team for welcoming us and facilitating such an impactful and unforgettable experience — and for all the work you do every day.

Apple announced some incredible new accessibility features this week that are going to help millions of people gain access to speech recognition, haptic music and even to control their devices entirely with their eyes.

Incredible to see this work and can’t wait to return to this amazing place!

Second Image: Keely & Sophie are outside the Apple Park curved building. They are smiling and pointing towards it.

Today, The White House and U.S. Department of Transportation convened to take action on Protecting the Safety, Rights, and Dignity of Air Travelers with Disabilities,

Attendees included; Secretary of Transportation Secretary @secretarypete, United States Senator for Illinois Senator @senduckworth, Senior Advisor to the President and Director of Public Engagement Steve Benjamin, Kelly Buckland, the Disability Policy Advisor at the Department of Transportation, and Disability Rights Advocates.

The United States Department of Transportation has announced the issuance of a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) on Ensuring Safe Accommodations for Air Travelers with Disabilities. In a nut shell they are proposing:

1. Mandate annual, hands-on training for airline staff and contractors who physically assist passengers and who handle passengers’ wheelchairs.

2. Allow passengers to choose the company that will repair or replace their wheelchair if it’s mishandled with the airline covering the costs.

3. Clarify that airlines must provide prompt, safe, and dignified assistance to all passengers with disabilities.

4. If airlines fall short of any of these standards or mishandle a passenger’s wheelchair, the proposal – if finalized – would make it easier for DOT to hold airlines accountable for failing passengers who use a wheelchair.

The proposed rule also clarifies that damaging or delaying the return of a wheelchair is an automatic violation of the ACAA.

Comments on the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking must be received within 60 days of the date it is published in the Federal Register.

Comments can be filed on www.regulations.gov, docket number DOT-OST-2022-0144.

@annaperngpa thank you SO much!

Today, The White House and U.S. Department of Transportation convened to take action on Protecting the Safety, Rights, and Dignity of Air Travelers with Disabilities, Attendees included; Secretary of Transportation Secretary @secretarypete, United States Senator for Illinois Senator @senduckworth, Senior Advisor to the President and Director of Public Engagement Steve Benjamin, Kelly Buckland, the Disability Policy Advisor at the Department of Transportation, and Disability Rights Advocates. The United States Department of Transportation has announced the issuance of a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) on Ensuring Safe Accommodations for Air Travelers with Disabilities. In a nut shell they are proposing: 1. Mandate annual, hands-on training for airline staff and contractors who physically assist passengers and who handle passengers’ wheelchairs. 2. Allow passengers to choose the company that will repair or replace their wheelchair if it’s mishandled with the airline covering the costs. 3. Clarify that airlines must provide prompt, safe, and dignified assistance to all passengers with disabilities. 4. If airlines fall short of any of these standards or mishandle a passenger’s wheelchair, the proposal – if finalized – would make it easier for DOT to hold airlines accountable for failing passengers who use a wheelchair. The proposed rule also clarifies that damaging or delaying the return of a wheelchair is an automatic violation of the ACAA. Comments on the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking must be received within 60 days of the date it is published in the Federal Register. Comments can be filed on www.regulations.gov, docket number DOT-OST-2022-0144. @annaperngpa thank you SO much! #RightsOnFlights #JustPlaneWrong #KnowYourRights #DisabilityRights #AssistedAirTravelAct #ACA #DepartmentTransportation #USDOT #AccessibleAviation #AirForAll #PushingForwardAccess

Keely Cat Wells - 701 Likes - 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.

Keely Cat Wells - 658 Likes - 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 🤍

1. Many of us with hidden disabilities have ‘dynamic disabilities’ and some days may be more painful, symptomatic or harder than others. When it comes to mobility aids I have been dealing with my own internal ableism, compounded by the fear that as a founder partners, VCs or colleagues may think i’m no longer capable. As a Disability Rights Advocate who’s spent years working to shift perceptions, I was startled by how deeply this fear resonated within me. If it was not for amazing friends, I wouldn’t have had the confidence to start helping myself.

2. Jumping out of a plane! 2024 got off to a flying start! For some Disabled people, tandem skydiving - jumping out of a plane - is probably safer than standard air travel... That may sound WILD but likely not far from the truth. Thank you to my partner & friend @sophlmorg for arranging this trip but more importantly for founding #RightsOnFlights, a campaign dedicated to making air travel accessible for all and aims to educate Disabled people about our rights when flying.

3. Attending CES and meeting the amazing @_making_space__ team IRL! Making Space was selected to participate in 1 of 10 open booth spots within Eureka Park at CES 2024 - thank you to the Consumer Technology Association for the space.

4. Getting the Making Space mini studio ready for some very cool projects 😎

10 years ago I thought my life was over, nobody except my mum believed or fought for me. Thanks to her, we made it through the worst times and there was light at the end of that very long and dark tunnel.

Off to D.C. next week for an amazing opportunity to make some more space 💕

Keely Cat Wells - 541 Likes - Sophie and I often talk about how we both became disabled at such pivotal ages - 17 and 18,

I gradually entered into the disabled community, through misdiagnosis, medical malpractice, a ridiculous amount of surgeries and so on, and for Sophie it happened instantly, her life changed forever in one unexpected moment.

We both lost so much of our lives to hospital, recovering from surgeries, having more surgeries, recovering again, and the cycle continues.

It has made us incredibly determined people,

Those experiences and loosing all that time makes one realize that you never know when time may get taken away again.

It is also a reminder that there are endless amounts of stories that are yet to be told and endless amounts of people who are yet to be heard.

As Sophie said so well in this interview, “so much of what Hello Sunshine embody is so aligned with our values. If you were to supplant the word disabled in front of women, the narratives that they use to describe themselves are what we and Keely have always wanted to achieve for women and disabled people in general. It felt like there could not be a greater company for us to want to be partnered with and associated with. Everything that they create, and the way they want to broaden perspectives, is exactly what we want to do.”

Couldn’t be more grateful and excited for this next chapter of the journey 💞💫

Making Space co-founders Sophie Morgan and Keely Cat-Wells discuss why they teamed with Reese Witherspoon's production company, the kinds of content they want their new deal to produce as well as how unscripted is key to reframing — and mainstreaming — disability onscreen”

Caption : Sophie and I often talk about how we both became disabled at such pivotal ages – 17 and 18, I gradually entered into the disabled community, through misdiagnosis, medical malpractice, a ridiculous amount of surgeries and so on, and for Sophie it happened instantly, her life changed forever in one unexpected moment. We both lost so much of our lives to hospital, recovering from surgeries, having more surgeries, recovering again, and the cycle continues. It has made us incredibly determined people, Those experiences and loosing all that time makes one realize that you never know when time may get taken away again. It is also a reminder that there are endless amounts of stories that are yet to be told and endless amounts of people who are yet to be heard. As Sophie said so well in this interview, “so much of what Hello Sunshine embody is so aligned with our values. If you were to supplant the word disabled in front of women, the narratives that they use to describe themselves are what we and Keely have always wanted to achieve for women and disabled people in general. It felt like there could not be a greater company for us to want to be partnered with and associated with. Everything that they create, and the way they want to broaden perspectives, is exactly what we want to do.” Couldn’t be more grateful and excited for this next chapter of the journey 💞💫 #RepresentationMatters #MakingSpace Image description: The Hollywood Reporter article by Abbey White; “How Hello Sunshine and Making Space Media’s Unscripted First-Look Deal Could Change Hollywood’s Disability Narratives Making Space co-founders Sophie Morgan and Keely Cat-Wells discuss why they teamed with Reese Witherspoon’s production company, the kinds of content they want their new deal to produce as well as how unscripted is key to reframing — and mainstreaming — disability onscreen”

Keely Cat Wells - 520 Likes - It’s International Day of Disabled People!

This years theme, set by the United Nations, is “united in action to rescue and achieve the SDGs for, with and by disabled people”.

As someone with a hidden disability I often feel like an imposter, and at times, in both non-disabled and disabled spaces.

The hidden nature of my disability protects me from a whole universe of discrimination and microaggressions, but it also insulates me from potential support,

Living with a chronic illness & hidden disability is complicated and many of us can relate to the 'but you look fine' or 'you don't look disabled' comments, making it harder to ask for accommodations/access requirements.

Similar to the nature of my disability, the community at large faces challenges that many choose to not see, making it harder for advocacy to work.

In a world facing unprecedented challenges, listening and unified action is more crucial than ever.

Image description: Keely, a white women in her 20s with blonde hair, is wearing a blue t-shirt with a Ostomate symbol on.

Shoutout to Tim David for making these awesome t-shirts!

Keely Cat Wells - 484 Likes - From a conversation about disability rights with President Bill Clinton,

To dinner in The National Archives Rotunda — home to the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights,

And meeting public servants such as Secretary Alexis M. Herman, Secretary Rodney E. Slater, Dee Dee Myers and many more,

The Presidential Leadership Scholars is an opportunity of a lifetime.

After moving to the USA 5 years ago, I could never have imagined I’d be in such rooms with the opportunity to make an impact.

In today’s polarized political climate, to make real change we must bring together public and private sectors, grassroots organizations, and embrace the power of collaboration, as President Clinton highlighted. A take away from this trip was to start with the end in mind.

Today was an exciting day making moves and making space.

Sophie and I are two incredibly impatient people, a blessing and a curse…

I am currently re-reading Judy Heumanns book and am comforted by her quote,

“Change never happens at the pace we think it should. It happens over years of people joining together, strategizing, sharing, and pulling all the levers they possibly can. Gradually, excruciatingly slowly, things start to happen, and then suddenly, seemingly out of the blue, something will tip.”

Keely Cat Wells - 3 Likes - I can’t quite believe I am saying this, but I am one of two fellows who will be supported by @gloriasfoundation and the ‘world’s most famous feminist’ @gloriasteinem,

The foundation aims to support and nurture the feminist movement, offering tools, resources, and a safe and inspiring space for work and organizing for fellows whose work centers around justice.

There are many Disability Rights issues that disproportionately affect women, particularly women of color and those who are multi-marginalized including:

- Nearly 70% of disabled women are unemployed, exacerbating economic hardships and reducing access to essential services.

- 30 US states still have laws that allow for the forced sterilization. And about 20% of sterilizations performed on disabled women globally are non-consensual.

- 83% of disabled women have been sexually assaulted in their lifetime, compared to 31% of non-disabled women.

- Many Disabled people receiving SSI, HCBS or Medicaid face strict asset and income limits, making it difficult to afford pregnancy and child costs.

- Over 13 million disabled Americans face travel difficulties so accessing abortion care, especially out of state, can be nearly impossible.

And many more.

I’m incredibly fortunate to have always been surrounded by amazing women who push societal boundaries, especially my mum, who has consistently encouraged me to pursue my dreams and defy stereotypes.

I look forward to learning everything I can from this opportunity and putting it to work @_making_space__

Thank you @toryburchfoundation for the recommendation and introduction. The gift that keeps on giving!!

Caption : When I first came to America I was looking for a fresh start, somewhere to figure out who I was and how I was going to live in my new disabled body, I am so grateful that as an immigrant, disabled women and school dropout with zero degrees or diplomas I have been able to pursue opportunities that I never thought would be available to me, PLS has deepened my pride in living in this country, being surrounded by incredible individuals who are committed to addressing some of the world’s most pressing issues. Yet, we live in polarized times, and it is crucial that we collectively uphold the principles of democracy. Please VOTE like your life depends on it—because our collective future truly does. Thank you Presidential Leadership Scholars for a transformative six months. The experience has allowed me to advance my leadership skills and advocacy for Disability Rights. Being the youngest scholar in the program to date has also been both an honor and responsibility. Applications for PLS 2025 are open until July 14th. Selfishly I would love to see more Disabled young leaders go through the program! @_making_space__ Image descriptions: 1) Keely is standing with Bill Clinton.

Caption : 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.

Keely Cat Wells - 3 Likes - I am SO excited to share that I am a 2024 Presidential Leadership Scholar!

The Presidential Leadership Scholars program works as a catalyst for a diverse network of established leaders to collaborate and make a difference in the world.

We get the incredible opportunity to learn about leadership through the lens of the presidential experiences of George W. Bush, William J. Clinton, George H.W. Bush, and Lyndon B. Johnson.

I will be working on @_making_space__, creating innovative and enhanced avenues for employment for disabled people by utilizing technology, beyond compliant accessibility measures and representation to close the education-employment divide and ensure that efforts are integral to overarching business strategies for corporations and organizations.

Thank you to Maya Enista Smith for sharing about your experiences with the program and being the reason I put myself forward.

Kindness is sharing opportunities!

Caption : Congress chose not to pass the Transformation to Competitive Integrated Employment Act last session, legislation that could’ve ended subminimum wage for disabled workers, It’s been legal to pay people with disabilities pennies per hour for almost 90 years. We cannot wait any longer – the time to act is NOW. Sign the petition now at EndSubminimumWage.org. You can also email the Department of Labor directly at [email protected] and tell them why you think disabled people deserve fair wages. This antiquated practice is based on a deeply flawed and false idea that disabled workers’ labor is worth less. As this program has gone unchecked, the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights shows the average wage of a person with a disability working under a 14(c) certificate was less than $3.34 per hour. Many workers earn less than a dollar an hour. This cannot continue, workers with disabilities deserve equal pay for equal work. The Department of Labor is currently conducting a comprehensive review of the future viability of the 14(c) certificate program. It’s imperative the disability community and all those who care about equality and justice make their voice heard and demand the agency put an end to the practice of paying disabled workers less than minimum wage. Copy & image from @aapdofficial Thank you @maria_town @aapdofficial for your leadership. #DisabilityRights Image description: Act now, End subminimum wages for disabled workers!

being a Storyteller in Residence at the Clinton Gobal Initiative was a very special experience,

As I told my story on stage today I only scratched the surface talking about the challenges I faced (and still face) going through years misdiagnosis, medical malpractice and trauma, and the challenges living with hidden, chronic disabilities,

Challenges that many can relate to, and many of us don’t speak about. There is a unique aspect to living with conditions so underresearched, disrespected and unknown that adds an extra layer to the complexity for both ourselves and the people around us,

We have to keep sharing our stories, listening to the stories of others and ensure that we change the narrative.

Keely Cat Wells - 3 Likes - Thank you SO much @rebelgirls and @annabellesbookclubla for collaborating with @_making_space__ and I on this very special event,

What an amazing final celebration and gathering to commemorate Disability Pride Month!

As we know there are not enough brands that prioritise disability pride month, so thank you for taking the opportunity to provide a platform for disabled voices.

There’s nothing I love more than listening and learning from this amazing community and having conversations with young people who want to see a world that is equitable, safe and just for everyone.

When we are given access to platforms, funding and meaningful support - we can accelerate positive change.

As I write this, on a very low spoon count, I am reminded that it is OK to be proud of being Disabled but still have complicated relationship with our medical conditions.

A massive, special thank you also to @probonoasl and @stephbohn, Lucy & Sadie,

Caption : Thank you SO much @rebelgirls and @annabellesbookclubla for collaborating with @_making_space__ and I on this very special event, What an amazing final celebration and gathering to commemorate Disability Pride Month! As we know there are not enough brands that prioritise disability pride month, so thank you for taking the opportunity to provide a platform for disabled voices. There’s nothing I love more than listening and learning from this amazing community and having conversations with young people who want to see a world that is equitable, safe and just for everyone. When we are given access to platforms, funding and meaningful support – we can accelerate positive change. As I write this, on a very low spoon count, I am reminded that it is OK to be proud of being Disabled but still have complicated relationship with our medical conditions. A massive, special thank you also to @probonoasl and @stephbohn, Lucy & Sadie, As well as @imtiffanyyu @charleyroyall @mariealyse_ @miraclepelayoofficial @lovingmydots @marisahamamoto @elisa.richards @theatouchton @verityvandams @dorayucas and so many others for your support. #RepresentationMatters #ChronicIllness #Ostomy #Spoonie #DisabilityPride #DisabilityRights Image description, 1) A young girl smiles holding a Rebel Girls book and Keely is seated in a Annabelles Book Club directors chair holding a pen 2) Annabelle, Keely and Lucy stand in front of a very colourful bookshelf 3) Lucy and Keely are seated in Annabelles book club directors chairs speaking to an audience.

The last few days have been equally as exciting as they have exhausting!

Massive congratulations to @maria_town and her team at @aapdofficial for a wonderful event celebrating the 33rd anniversary of the ADA. It was incredible being in a room with so many leaders and changemakers including @senduckworth, @margauxjoffe, @jennifer.lee1, @andraealavant, @sheisjamiet @cascade4ever @kiknack @carlyfahey and so many more,

In addition and thanks to Anna Perng and AAPD, for a very special experience - I was able to take my mum to the White House! She has been with me through everything, including the very lowest and hardest parts of my disability journey so far.

And, one of my favourite humans @thetexastroya and I were also able to roam around the White House!

We saw“Rent” in concert the symphonic world premiere starring @alistroker who absolutely crushed it!

All while trying keep up with the exciting things happening at @_making_space__ and @_making_space_media… (last photo says it all 😆)

The ADA did not miraculously make America accessible & equitable, it was a major milestone but we do have a LONG way to go, and it certainly does not take away the nuances of medical conditions, but I am proud of being in a community that is constantly demanding and creating change.

Keely Cat Wells - 3 Likes - Today I had the tremendous honour of being seated around a table with @vp Vice President Kamala Harris,

Department of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg,

Department of Transportation Disability Policy Advisor Kelly Bucklund,

The Honourable Tony Coelho,

and Disability Rights leaders and advocates.

Disabled people are impacted daily by inaccessible transportation, creating significant barriers to employment, education, healthcare, and community.

This lack of accessible transit fundamentally inhibits our independence, quality of life, and full participation in society, underscoring the urgent need for equitable solutions.

During todays convening on accessible transportation the The Vice President said, “An accessible America is a better America”. And the following items were discussed,

• Department of Transportation (DOT) Accessible Lavatories on Aircraft rule
• Accessible Air Travel
• All Stations Accessibility Program
• Airport Terminals Program
• US Access Board and DOT
• Enhanced Mobility of Seniors & Individuals with Disabilities Section 5310

I am left with an overwhelming sense of gratitude and hope.

I am so thankful to those who have been doing this work for decades, and people like my friend and business partner, @sophlmorg who has positively impacted the lives of so many disabled people and has made critical legislative change.

Thank you @annaperngpa for your incredible work and including us in today’s conversation.

And thank you @em_vrabel for being an amazing advocate & team member.

Caption : Today I had the tremendous honour of being seated around a table with @vp Vice President Kamala Harris, Department of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Department of Transportation Disability Policy Advisor Kelly Bucklund, The Honourable Tony Coelho, and Disability Rights leaders and advocates. Disabled people are impacted daily by inaccessible transportation, creating significant barriers to employment, education, healthcare, and community. This lack of accessible transit fundamentally inhibits our independence, quality of life, and full participation in society, underscoring the urgent need for equitable solutions. During todays convening on accessible transportation the The Vice President said, “An accessible America is a better America”. And the following items were discussed, • Department of Transportation (DOT) Accessible Lavatories on Aircraft rule • Accessible Air Travel • All Stations Accessibility Program • Airport Terminals Program • US Access Board and DOT • Enhanced Mobility of Seniors & Individuals with Disabilities Section 5310 I am left with an overwhelming sense of gratitude and hope. I am so thankful to those who have been doing this work for decades, and people like my friend and business partner, @sophlmorg who has positively impacted the lives of so many disabled people and has made critical legislative change. Thank you @annaperngpa for your incredible work and including us in today’s conversation. And thank you @em_vrabel for being an amazing advocate & team member. @_making_space_work @_making_space_media #RepresentationMatters #RightsOnFlights Image description: Vice President Kamala Harris and Department of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg host a roundtable with diverse leaders from the disability, aging, and veterans communities inside the Eisenhower Executive Office.
