Striving to remove barriers that prevent us from building Vibrant, Diverse, Inclusive, Accessible Communities!
Tiffany Yu, founder of Diversability, is a leading voice in advocacy for Disability rights and inclusion. Through her work, she confronts systemic ableism and fosters a global movement that amplifies the voices of People with Disabilities. By creating spaces where Disability is seen as a valued identity rather than a limitation, she promotes meaningful representation and leadership for People with Disabilities in all sectors of society.
Diversability, the community she founded, focuses on removing barriers that prevent full participation for People with Disabilities. The platform empowers members through storytelling, networking, and professional growth opportunities, reinforcing that Disability inclusion is not just about compliance but about celebrating the contributions of People with Disabilities. Through this work, Tiffany Yu has helped shift conversations around Disability from one of limitation to one of strength, diversity, and innovation.
Disability is not a flaw to be fixed, it’s a part of human diversity and it makes our world richer. And true inclusion isn’t about making space at the table – it’s about recognising that disabled people have always belonged there.
A critical aspect of her work is addressing the deeply rooted biases and misconceptions that fuel ableism. Many societal structures still operate under assumptions that exclude People with Disabilities from equitable participation. By fostering awareness and educating communities, Tiffany Yu encourages people to recognize and remove these barriers, ensuring that accessibility and inclusion are not afterthoughts but foundational principles in all aspects of life.
Her advocacy extends beyond social initiatives to policy discussions that drive institutional change. By advocating for Disability rights, workplace inclusion, and accessibility in technology and media, she highlights the urgency of systemic reforms. Tiffany Yu’s work serves as a powerful reminder that Disability rights are human rights, and true inclusion means dismantling ableist structures to build a world where People with Disabilities are fully included, valued, and heard.
