'Networkologist with a splash of purple obstinacity' Kate talks about 'obstinacity' - the sweet spot between the attributes of tenacity and being obstinate, and why this is something we see in our thriving disability ERG/Network leaders. Listen now to hear more ⬇️

“Disabilities are indiscriminate, it doesn’t matter who you are, they can affect you at any time or anyone that you know" Rewatch @ParliAble Co-Chair @AaronDavidSpeer in last year's powerful @HouseofCommons #LeaderToLeader video for #PurpleLightUp youtube.com/watch?v=ah20Qn…

Disabled people contribute more to our economy than they take. During 2022 #PurpleLightUp, a mark of respect to International Day of Persons with Disabilities, PurpleSpace launched a new report to showcase the tax contribution of people with disabilities. purplespace.org/purple-tax-imp…

Did you see these indents yesterday? @Channel4 celebrating the economic contribution of disabled employees globally, and also displaying their commitment to improving opportunities for disabled talent behind the camera and on screen #PurpleLightUp

#Optimism and #Positivity are just as #mentally contagious as negativity is. Surround yourself with continuous repeated times of either and it takes over. #AXSChat

@KateNashOBE @messalinahooper In a similar vein, going into a difficult situation with a positive mindset, and then maintaining it, can itself help drive a positive outcome.

At the last election, it seemed there were five MPs who had described themselves as Disabled. With 650 MPs in total, appallingly, that is less than 1%. Contrast that with the one in five people in the UK who consider themselves Disabled. bit.ly/3Bg2UKg
