1. Emily Blum

Emily Blum is the Executive Director of ADA25 Advanced Leadership, an organization dedicated to advancing and developing leaders with disabilities in the workplace. It was founded during the 25th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, and born out of frustration with the lack of leaders with disabilities at tables of influence and power. With a background rooted in social justice and communications, Emily believes that disability is and should be a part of every conversation. She joins me today to discuss the journeys of those with disabilities and the value they bring to the table.Here are a few highlights from our conversation: There is a pervasive belief that disability is a pejorative. Emily’s personal journey taught her that her disability is an asset that gives her unique perspective and insight. It’s not a liability. In Chicago, one in five people have a disability, but studies show only three percent feel comfortable enough disclosing that information to their employer. Accommodations are about allowing people to do the best job they can. Creating the space for people to come as their authentic selves to the workplace is hard and undervalued work. Diversity, equity and inclusion starts with making a commitment. There is a societal expectation for leaders with disabilities to carry the bags of every person who has a handicap. Disability looks different on every person, and is experienced in ways unique to each individual. There is incredible power that leadership can create. Leaders with disabilities should be involved in policy making departments, especially when it affects those within that community.
