Creating opportunities for disabled people to lead | Keely Cat-Wells | TEDxPortland
Many of the tools we rely on every day, from text messaging to audiobooks to voice recognition, were shaped by disabled people and the need for accessibility. In this talk, disability advocate, entrepreneur, and founder Keely Cat-Wells shares how her journey from dancer to patient to founder revealed a deeper truth: disabled people are not lacking capability; they are blocked by systems that refuse to flex. She challenges the myth of the self-made individual and argues that interdependence, not independence, is the real foundation of human progress. When we make space for disabled people to lead, we build a better future for everyone. Keely Cat-Wells is the Founder and CEO of Making Space, a talent and learning platform closing the disability employment gap. Under her leadership, Making Space has supported over 10,000 Disabled professionals through free, accessible education and pathways to employment, partnering with companies including Coca-Cola, Netflix, and Visa.Keely co-produced the documentary Fight To Fly with Reese Witherspoon’s Hello Sunshine, which exposed systemic barriers faced by Disabled travellers and helped drive policy reform.
Prior to Making Space, Keely founded C Talent, a talent agency representing Disabled actors and creators with a combined reach of over 50 million people, reshaping disability representation in media before its acquisition in 2022. She is a Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, the youngest-ever Presidential Leadership Scholar, an Obama Leader USA, and an inaugural Gloria Steinem Fellow. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx Receive SMS online on sms24.me
