  • Is change really all that difficult?
    Jun 11 2024

    In this episode, we are exploring the question – is change really all that difficult?


    Our guest, Becky Kekula has grappled with this question over the course of her life. Born with achondroplasia, the most common type of short-limbed dwarfism. Determined, driven and overflowing with courage, Becky has made her life’s work to influence authentic portrayals of people with disabilities in the media and in society, having worked in film and television for many years before founding the charity, DisABILITY and heading another, Disability:IN as DEI Senior Director.


    A motivational speaker, a TEDx alum, and relentless advocate for a world that is representative of all people, Becky simply will not be stopped. This in itself is inspiring enough, but it’s Becky’s searing personal story, and the challenges she’s faced that will leave you speechless. In this conversation, she opens up about the unthinkable moments in her life that could have left her paralysed to taking action, but instead, they’ve propelled her to spark deeply important global conversations that still have an impact to this day. Becky’s energy is infallible, and her take on the realities of fighting for change – big and small - will, quite frankly leave you breathless, and awe-inspired.
