The key to thriving with disability | Hannah Wallace | TEDxTamworth

What if, overnight, your life changed? At 17, mine did. I assumed disability came with support, but I learned first-hand how isolation and lack of inclusion affect people beyond the clinical. Thriving isn’t just about managing symptoms, it’s about purpose, connection, and belonging. With over a billion disabled people worldwide, inclusion isn’t a checkbox; it’s a mindset that benefits everyone. We must listen, advocate, celebrate, and connect to create meaningful change. Together, we can build a world where thriving isn’t a privilege, but a right. Because when we uplift each other, we all flourish. Let’s thrive, together. Hannah is the host of the podcast “Finding Grace” and is a disability model, advocate, writer, blogger, and speaker. She helps individuals discover grace in their lives, guiding them to embrace both their challenges and strengths in order to fully embody their true selves. With a strong commitment to advocating for disability rights, she inspires others to thrive, regardless of their limitations. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
