Jennifer Barnable: Storyteller, Disability Advocate

Hello,

I’m Jennifer

Friends call me Jenna, too. I’m an award-winning storyteller, professional communicator and disability inclusion advocate committed to increasing authentic disabled representation in media and community leadership.

With Disabled lived experience through an intersectional lens, I’m committed to anti-ableism education, disability justice, inclusive changemaking and Disabled empowerment.

I write, photograph, blog, create audio and video content, and produce an indie, Disabled-led, feminist podcast: “Finding Avalon: Amplifying Disabled Voices.”

Bringing 25 years of professional expertise and reputation, I work with businesses, academia, all levels of government and community organizations.

Hire me as a speaker, faclilitator, panellist, host, advisor or consultant to support your inclusion initatives, anti-ableism education, events and services.

Asking Disabled people to work for less pay or worse, unpaid, is exploitative and ableist. By ethical and professional standards, Disabled experts must be compensated fairly and equitably for our knowledge, skills and time.

Media requests seeking balanced and diverse Disabled perspectives are welcome.
