In this session, we will celebrate the work of three Somali disability activists who have championed building more inclusive communities: Hawa Kodah, an advocate for deaf communities in Somaliland and London; Fatima Farah, a fashion designer who designs clothes for wheelchair users. Hawa, Fatima and Abdi will reflect on the barriers they have faced in their own lives and share their ideas about how Somali communities and events can be made more accessible and inclusive. They will be joined by Julia Modern from Inclusion London (or someone from their intersectionality team), a London-based organization that supports Deaf and Disabled people’s organizations and campaigns for equality for Deaf and Disabled people. Julia will share some of the resources available to organizations and individuals in London to support building more inclusive communities.
