We had the amazing honor to welcome Brittany Déjean onto the TGOW podcast show recently. She is founder and CEO of AbleThrive, a platform for people with paralysis and their families. Brittany's father was paralyzed in a car accident when she was 12 years old and after seeing it's possible to live well with a disability, she dedicated her life to making it possible for others. A 2008 Harvard University graduate, Brittany has worked with disability communities in five countries, giving her a sense of the common challenges faced globally. She also works to challenge negative perceptions of disability to foster a more inclusive society. She specializes in debunking misconceptions associated with disability to develop the population of disability allies. She is a 2014 Echoing Green Global Fellow, a 2017 Global Good Fund Fellow and was named on the 2017 SE Enablers Top 100 Social Entrepreneurs.
