Many professionals with disabilities face an interesting dilemma. When creating a LinkedIn profile, should they begin by talking about their disability or by talking about their work? The question matters because first impressions often shape professional relationships. A profile is more than a digital CV. It is often the first introduction to potential employers, clients, colleagues, and collaborators. Our latest article looks at how professionals with disabilities can present themselves in ways that ensure their skills, knowledge, and achievements are visible while still embracing disability as part of their lived experience. The article discusses visibility, professional identity, and why people are often remembered for the work they do and the ideas they share.

"I learned about something called "going down the rabbit hole" and how this is linked to ADHD brains. Discovering this was both fascinating and affirming. It helped me understand something I've been doing my entire life." @JKagosh Learn from a personal experience what goes on in a brain of a person with ADHD... #Adhd linkedin.com/feed/update/urn… @UDPKenya

A free wheelchair is just the start. Is it the right fit? Are there spare parts? Anyone to repair it? See how Kenya shifting from one-off giveaways to sustainable assistive tech will build capacity, not dependence. #AssistiveTech enableme.ke/en/article/givea…

Assistive technology transforms lives. It enables children to learn, athletes to compete, professionals to work, and individuals to participate fully in their communities. On #WorldATDay, we call for greater investment and action to ensure everyone, everywhere can access the assistive technology they need. Watch this video and see how assistive technology is helping people #UnlockTheEveryday. #AssistiveTechnology @_ATscale @MOH_Kenya @EduMinKenya @Ncpwds @CHAI_health @LabourSPKE

Imagine visiting your neighbour, hungry and finding them eating. But there's no plate for you. You weren't counted in the budget. That's exactly what happens when people with disabilities are left out of data. If you are not counted, you do not count. shorturl.at/Prg2S

The way we talk about disability shapes how we treat people. Words like 'victim' or 'suffering' strip dignity. Framing disability through pity ignores the real barriers. It's time to move from charity narratives to rights-based approaches. shorturl.at/E0OtM

A family of 5 walks into a hotel. One child uses a wheelchair. The upper floor is inaccessible. The whole family walks out. Persons with disabilities don't shop alone, they bring families, friends & communities with them. The #PurpleDollar is powerful . shorturl.at/bYCaN

Lisa walks into a bursary office and is told she isn’t in the records, so she can’t access support. When people aren’t counted, they’re left out. Better data drives inclusion. enableme.ke/en/article/the-p… #DisabilityData #InclusiveData @UDPKenya

Imagine a young girl watching her favourite show. A doctor and his colleague move through a busy hospital. She uses a wheelchair. They focus on their work and the story continues. This is incidental #representation. Read more enableme.ke/en/article/incid… #Disability #Inclusion

“We don’t want the presence of women. We want them to hold power and influence systems.” Last week, we joined a stakeholder roundtable consultation forum on “Advancing Women’s Leadership and Participation in Public Life,” organized by Journalists for Human Rights (@JHRKenya ). Women are often present but not influential. They occupy positions but lack the authority, resources, or institutional backing to shape outcomes. From nominated leaders without voting rights to women sidelined during party nominations, the system often creates the illusion of inclusion while maintaining existing power structures and systems. When we examine this through a disability lens, the gap widens even further. Women with disabilities are rarely present in leadership spaces to begin with and when they are, they face layered barriers that limit participation, visibility, and decision-making power. Think about it, has Kenya ever had a woman Cabinet Secretary with a disability? This is where the media comes in. The media has the power to shape public perception, influence political agendas, and redefine who is seen as a leader. Yet too often, women with disabilities are either invisible in mainstream coverage or only featured when disability itself is the story. What if the media intentionally did things differently? What if women with disabilities were consistently profiled as experts, policymakers, and leaders and not just beneficiaries? What if political coverage questioned the absence of diverse representation in leadership spaces? What if journalists followed the journey of women leaders with disabilities and not just their struggles, but their influence and impact? #WomenLeadership #WomenRepresentation #Intersectionality

We need to move away from a medical model of disability where the person is seen as "broken" and one to be "fixed" & move towards the #SocialModel where disability is simply a part of human existence and barriers in the environment are the problem. #rights

The "Charity Model" is a trap. It makes you wait for favours. The "Rights Model" makes you demand access. One relies on pity; the other relies on the Law. #disability #rights enableme.ke/en/article/how-d… @UDPKenya @SallyNduta1
