Humans with disabilities have often been labelled with different tags. Specially Abled, Differently Abled, Divine, Inspirational, Motivational, Gift of God, Handicapped, crippled, and Dumb are some of the most common nomenclatures used across our diverse country. Several politicians, celebrities and even Non-Governmental organizations use these words.

Get out of inspiration porn

If you are looking for inspiration, look within! We are doing the same. We are neither ‘More’ Humans with a sixth sense /Divinity /Inspirational or ‘Less’ Humans looking for sympathy. The best way to come out of this notion of More Human or Less Human is to be treated like anyone else who is being respected like individuals for our work and nothing else.

Is there a place to find a Talents with Disability?

The most important question that you should ask is this. We have tremendous skills but don’t have a platform to showcase this. Several websites are not accessible to users with disabilities and hence, demonstrating their skills becomes tough. Corporates and event management firms are unable to find suitable talent within the disability sector as they don’t understand how to discover them.
