It was a very special night with amazing people and discussions! ————————————— And here’s the man himself, dapper as ever, who made this event reality and brought creative disabled talent to the forefront: Sulaiman Khan, our Founder and Chief Purpose Officer. ————————————— He aims to build on the success of the first Ability Assembles and ignite our team push ThisAbility positively further to right the ratio for greater inclusivity of creative disabled talent in the creative industries. ————————————— From here, he will lead to build on our partnerships, increase the connections, build our network and work on the next steps to push ThisAbility forward in a focused way with tangible actions rather than words. Watch this space. So, he hopes you’ll still join us on this adventure. ————————————— As our very good friend, Rosemary Frazer, best said: “We're too busy to be disabled...

#MakeTheDaysCount #MuscularDystrophy #BeBoldBeWildBeFearless | As my hero, the awesome Cindy Gallop best says: “Shared Values + Shared Action = #Shared Profit.” • • • • • • I take this quote seriously and always aim to make every second of my life count, collaborating with shared #bravery and #purpose to have real, positive impact in the world; and those of you who know me well will know that I do this everyday whether in what I do, whom I meet, and wherever in the world I go. So today, my ace mate, Vivek and his lovely mum Manjula from Leicester came to visit! 🎉 I first met Vivek years ago through our mutual disability advocacy work for Muscular Dystrophy UK’s Trailblazers Network; we are also recently working on lots of exciting projects together that I can’t wait to start sharing with you. • • • • • • Anyway, we had a great chat and a proper catch up. We chatted everything life, travel, politics, work, projects and future world domination. It was amazing! 😃 • • • • • • Thank you, Vivek (and Manjula) for a fantastic day. Until next time. Here's to more shaking up the world to make it a better place for all and to lots of incredible adventures together in 2017 (and beyond)! ☀️ • • • • • • Take care and speak soon mate. 🙌🏼 • • • • • • “Don't count the days, make the days count.” – Muhammad Ali • • • • • • #ONWARDSandUPWARDS. 👊🏼 • • • • • • #London #2017 #friends #create #creative #creativity #WorkHardAndBeNiceToPeople #BeBraveAndDrivenByPurpose #DontBeADick #PissOnPity #FistBumpsOnlyPLEASE #adventure #adventures #NewAdventures #AdventureIsCalling #InToTheWild #IAmNOTAnInspirationIAmJUSTLivingMyLife #superabled #IAmSuperabled (at Woodford Green, Redbridge, United Kingdom)

Rumi best said: “You have escaped the cage. Your wings are stretched out. Now fly.” ‪—————————————‬ ‪I’m honoured and humbled to be nominated as one of the @DiMASummit #male #advocates for #equality in #Marketing and #Media. 🙌🏽‬ ‪—————————————‬ ‪Come join us at DiMA Summit at BBC Broadcasting House on 2nd July to meet me and other awesome nominees like the amazing Danny Pallett and Will De Groot, as well as have a great day of fab speakers including myself: ‬https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/2nd-annual-diversity-in-marketing-advertising-summit-tickets-43750733622 ————————————— From here, the hard work begins. Less talking, more positive doing. I accept this challenge on behalf of all marginalised communities everywhere and I’ll support them in the creative industries, especially disabled talent who are often forgotten and don’t have a voice. “Shared Values + Shared Action = Shared Profit (that’s financial profit and social profit).” – Cindy Gallop. I simply believe it is vital to work together to ensure we start more tangible actions, together, and make business (and the world) a healthier, more inclusive, kinder, fairer, supportive and empathetic place for everyone. ————————————— “Do not follow the path. Go where there is no path to begin the trail.” — #Asante #proverb. ————————————— Personally, it is never about me taking credit either, but for me, it’s about creating the change I wish to see together with all you amazing people, and working through my business, ThisAbility to achieve this for us all. ————————————— Watch this space because: We got this! ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 ————————————— “Deal with yourself as an individual worthy of respect, and make everyone else deal with you the same way.” – Nikki Giovanni. ————————————— #ONWARDSandUPWARDS. 👊🏻👊🏼👊🏽👊🏾👊🏿 ————————————— #ThisAbility ‪#Advertising #Diversity #Inclusion #Disability #creativity #‬Friyay #FridayFeeling #intersectionality #WorkHardAndBeNiceToPeople #BeBraveAndDrivenByPurpose #DontBeADick #BeBoldBeWildBeFearless #FistBumpsOnlyPLEASE #adventure #adventures #NewAdventures #AdventureIsCalling #IAmNOTAnInspirationIAmJUSTLivingMyLife #superabled #IAmSuperabled #MuscularDystrophy (at BBC Broadcasting House)

#GoodVibes #intersectionality #diversity #creativity #ImpossibleIsNothing #disability #friendship | 井の中の蛙大海を知らず。 ————————————— “A frog in a well does not know the great sea.” ————————————— A Japanese idiom that is way easier to say than: “People make judgments based on their own limited experiences, with no knowledge of the world outside of those experiences.” ————————————— Last night, I had a great visit by this gent, my friend Will of The Elephant Room, and this Japanese phrase represent how we both met (and how we think). I first met Will last April at an amazing hackathon we worked on together with some incredible creatives to do a project for Papel & Caneta; which hopefully, we’ll finally be able to share with you very soon. Will is awesome, and we’re both the type of people who like to go outside of our comfort zone as well being open to our limited experiences to push boundaries. ————————————— Anyway, we had a wonderful time chatting all things intersectionality, diversity, creativity, projects, and future collaborations together. Having a proper catch-up was fantastic too! ————————————— Cheers, mate. Until next time! Chat soon. ————————————— “Do not follow the path.
