Watch our full interview, and read more below.
Our world is full of barriers for people with deafblindness to participate, leaving people left out of life. We need to work together and collaborate to make our world an inclusive place; if we do, everyone benefits.
This belief is at the core of Sense International’s work and of our Global Resource Hub, a truly collaborative effort which is helping us to connect people with deafblindness globally to the world around them. It’s shared too by Caroline Casey, disability advocate, activist, and founder of the Valuable 500.
Caroline Casey is a dedicated changemaker. Determined not to be held back by ocular albinism, Caroline spent a decade hiding her disability as she built her career. Finally, she realised that she shouldn’t have to fight her disability to succeed – it was the world that needed to change. Since then, she has worked relentlessly to bring about that change and to work with business leaders across the world to put disability inclusion on the agenda. In 2019, she founded the Valuable 500, a global collective of CEOs committed to innovating inclusion in industry, and continues to innovate a world that breaks down barriers for everyone to participate.
