BIOGRAPHY
Shani Dhanda - Disability Inclusion & Accessibility Strategist and Consultant.
Shani has recently written a Kids Book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Unicorn-Band-White-Collins-Big/dp/0008647542
I am one of the UK's highest-profile and most influential disability activists, working with global companies, broadcasters and the UK government to break barriers and integrate intersectional inclusion and accessibility into their frameworks.
I've helped over 200 clients with their inclusion journeys, including Google, Virgin Media, BBC, Facebook, Accenture, Unilever, ITV, Edelman, Samsung, Deloitte, Expedia, Viacom, GSK and Barclays.
CEO Magazine says I am one of the world's leading changemakers to keep an eye on in 2022 and one of the sixteen most influential women in leadership. I'm listed in the BBC's 100 Women's list 2020, and the Shaw Trust Powerlist named me one of the UK's most influential disabled people four years in a row.
European Diversity Awards crowned me Campaigner of the Year in 2021, and I've been recognised with nineteen awards and honours for my work.
I've spoken at over 250 conferences and companies worldwide, including the United Nations, World Expos, and TEDx. I enjoy talking to global audiences and have shared speaking stages with Michelle Obama and Hilary Clinton.
Regularly appearing in the media, I have been profiled in British Vogue, BBC, CNN, Sky News, CBC, Financial Times and Global Citizen, to name a few. I'm also a broadcaster, and you can watch me on shows such as Loose Women, Rip off Britain, Jeremy Vine on 5 and BBC (Sunday) Morning Live.
I hold seven current executive and advisory roles and am an ambassador at five national and global disability organisations.
My intersectional activism has led me to challenge social inequality globally through entrepreneurship. I'm the founder of Diversability, Asian Woman Festival and Asian Disability Network.
I'm a first-wave LinkedIn Changemaker and featured in LinkedIn's first-ever UK TV ad across digital, print and radio channels with over 17 million views.
