Accessible events aren’t just about making arrangements for people of all abilities—at their core they are meant to foster genuine inclusivity and equity. At Faulhaber, we are inspired by the work of creators who are championing accessibility, equity, diversity, and inclusion. Not only are they breaking barriers but these creators are also demonstrating what it means to create experiences that are accessible and equitable for everyone.
Meet the creators we love:
Mara Lauren: Mara is a Filipino-Canadian content creator, who has collaborated with big brands like Google and Amazon, using her voice to champion more inclusive spaces. She was diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa and Usher Syndrome, impacting both her vision and hearing. Rather than allowing that to define her, she’s become a powerful advocate for change.
Kae Tran: Living with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy, Kae hid her diagnosis for years due to societal stigma. Her journey to openness has not only led to self-acceptance but has empowered others to embrace their unique stories. Now, Kae’s platform serves as a space for awareness and representation, especially for those with muscular dystrophy.
Maayan Ziv: The founder of AccessNow, an app that helps people locate accessible venues, Maayan’s lived experience with muscular dystrophy inspired her to break down accessibility barriers. Her app is now helping thousands navigate spaces worldwide. Maayan is also an award-winning photographer, connecting creativity and advocacy to make a powerful impact.
Taylor Lindsay-Noel: Taylor Lindsay-Noel, the founder of Cup of Té, a luxury tea brand celebrated as one of Oprah’s Favorite Things, is a shining example of adaptive entrepreneurship. After a gymnastics accident left her with quadriplegia, Taylor reinvented herself as an entrepreneur, building a thriving business while inspiring others. Beyond her success in the tea industry, she engages audiences with her beauty product and restaurant reviews, showcasing her resilience and creativity.
These remarkable humans remind us that true inclusivity requires input and dialogue. Including diverse voices at the table when making decisions shines light on new ways for brands to connect authentically with underrepresented communities. How is your brand making accessibility a priority in 2025?
