We are so excited to share this! Our very own powerhouse Sophia will be giving her very first ever #TEDX youth talk this May 13th. She’s the youngest speaker to speak at this wonderful Clonturk organised event and over the past 5 months has been busy with her team preparing for her talk. She’s not giving much away but she says her speech will focus on inclusion, acceptance, diversity and how women lead in some of the biggest movements of our times. We can’t wait to hear it. ❤️ @TEDx @NWCI @InclusionIre @DisabilityFed @centralremedial @ailbhes @bridsmithTD @ivanabacik @TheSineadBurke @HollyCairnsTD @clonturkcc @DCU @christymoore45 @LeCheileDND @MaryLouMcDonald @NormaFoleyTD1 @HMcEntee @DisabilityFed @_DPIreland @InclusionIre @DCU @SarahAMcInerney

I was genuinely honored to sit amongst these amazing disabled women last week on International Women's Day to talk about representation, intersectionality, and disability justice. #IWD2025 #AccelerateAction Thank you @SightsaversIE for hosting this event!

I feel like I've been a bad advocate this Disability pride month because I've had so much of my own stuff going on. Haven't gotten involved in much. Maybe next year!

As we mark Disability Pride today I’m also thinking of this iconic pic by Marc Steadman of Martin Naughton, Leigh Gath, and Joe T Mooney from 2012 on their way into to meet the Taoiseach and get the cuts reversed and end the protest. All 3 sadly gone.

The well done @_DPIreland for today’s march - the stage for performers and speeches at the end of the march had the most beautiful ramp! Organisers of every other protest march please take note.

The Disability Pride and Power Parade took place in Dublin today. The rally celebrates grassroots movements and the work being done on the ground by members of the disabled community while highlighting the importance of non-disabled allies. @ElleLenn reports.

Its hard to comprehend to hear the news of a fellow activist Leigh Gath passing away suddenly. Though we were never in her company, though she helped Sean personally a number of years ago as HSE Confident Recipient. Rest in Power Leigh @DisabilityFed @ILMIreland @jcawleyjnr @ThalidomideIre
