In this week’s episode, the 100th episode, I sat down with Sinéad Burke. Sinéad is an Irish author, academic and disability activist. She is the Founder of Tilting The Lens, a disability-led consultancy that advises major global brands, guiding them in their move from awareness to action by creating more accessible practices, policies, products and services, places and promotions. We discuss her career path from fashion blogger to CEO, the shift in asking the fashion industry to design for us, the disabled community, to design with us, the power and influence of disability representation, not just in fashion, and much, much more.

She is the founder and executive director of Social Creatures, a nonprofit social innovation and research organization on a mission to ensure that any individual can socially connect with others, and co-founder of Historicons, a toys and games company that celebrates diversity by using historical events and icons to represent, educate, and empower kids.
