Twelve years. Over 500 episodes. Week after week. 💛
I’m so proud to be part of @AXSChat and to share this journey with my dear friends and co-hosts, @NeilMilliken and @AkwyZ.
And I’m thrilled to share that AXSChat has just been recognized on Goodpods as:
#8 in the Top 100 Future of Work (All-Time) chart.
What an honor.
But what means the most to me is the impact.
What started as conversations has become something much more—a living archive of voices, ideas, and insights from across our global disability community.
Think about the collective knowledge captured in those 500+ episodes…
The lived experiences. The innovation. Hard conversations. The moments of truth, challenge, and hope.
We’ve had the privilege of learning from so many brilliant guests—leaders, advocates, technologists, creators—each one contributing to a body of knowledge that continues to grow and guide us.
And we’re still going. Still learning. Still listening. Still amplifying.
Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey—our guests, our audience, and our community. You are the reason AXSChat continues to matter.
With gratitude and pride 💛

also *mean* what you say. too often it’s safer to try to hide one’s disabilities while applying. never leads to open support #acschat
A6 People are often unaware of their prejudices training can help but in many cases storytelling by impacted individuals is highly effective. Stories make it personal and relatable #AXSChat
A5 Don’t rely on people to seek out information on #CyberSecurity & #DigitalSkills make information available at the places where they are likely to be anyway. A good example was digital skills training in partnership with the UK post office. #AXSChat
A4 Start by ensuring applicants know that you welcome people with disabilities & they can request accommodations both for the interview process and when they successfully land the job. #AXSChat
A3 People with disabilities are constantly forced to innovate just to get around barriers in day to day living. They can bring this problem solving mindset to work and deliver an innovation premium for their employers. #AXSChat
A2 People need to know how to protect themselves online, the disability community especially as they rely on digital services for day to day living for accessibility purposes. Often the community has less money so the impact of being scammed is even greater. #AXSChat
A1 a good example of inclusive recruitment in the #CyberSecurity sector is the UK intelligence community where GCHQ actively encourages Neurodivergent candidates. #AXSChat
Hi Folks - scheduling my posts as I am in a different time zone for the next few weeks and #AXSChat takes place in the wee small hours of the morning.
A3 With a rapidly aging global population corporations need to think about how age & disabilities go hand in hand for their workforce & customer base. Companies need to keep hold of their talent & #accessibility helps. Design shouldn't be the preserve of the young only. #AXSChat
Glad to see @Forbes writing about the European #accessibility act - surprised to see myself quoted forbes.com/sites/gusalexiou/…

A5 progress necessitates compromise and cancel culture is uncompromising. Even though we may not like a point of view unless it is extreme we should understand that disagreement and debate can be healthy thus try to persuade rather than cancel as that polarises further. #AXSChat
A6 Whilst it can be alluring to focus on the needs of a specific group fragmentation weakens our community. I prefer to have us all united under one big umbrella than lots of fragmented organisations fighting for relevance and funding. #AXSChat
A4 Whilst companies are under considerable pressure to comply with a large number of regulations, it should not always be #disability & #accessibility requirements that get deprioritised when there are compromises to be made. #AXSChat
