Resilience and the Power of Opportunity webinar
This is a live storytelling webinar for Disability Inclusion & Allyship. The webinar is delivered by a trusted Disabled educator with lived expertise.
Overview
“I was born with a rare genetic condition called Osteogenesis Imperfecta — but I wasn’t only given a medical diagnosis at birth, I was also handed a label: Disabled. And that label came loaded with assumptions. It wasn’t synonymous with can, will, or thrive.
From the very beginning, society had already decided what my limitations would be before I even had a chance to show who I was. I spent years trying to prove that I was more than a label — because nobody should be written off before they’ve had the opportunity to shine.”
Developing inclusive cultures is a priority for organisations – yet many people still feel unsure where to begin when it comes to disability inclusion.
This powerful storytelling-led session inspires you to see disability through a new lens, while igniting confidence to take meaningful action.
Through personal stories, humour, and unfiltered honesty, Samantha explores how dismantling barriers and embracing lived experience can transform workplaces and communities. The aim is simple: to build disability inclusion into your best practice and your personal values as a disability ally.
You will learn about:
- The Disability landscape: facts, context & urgency
- Social Model vs Medical Model – why language and frameworks matter
- Internalised ableism – how societal messages shape identity
- Confronting unconscious bias – practical mindset shifts
- The role of opportunity: resilience is not about heroic narratives
- What authentic allyship looks like in everyday life
