Shownotes

Join Syya and me for a powerful and purpose-driven episode of The Influencers’ Connection Corner. We’re honored to welcome Michelle Colvard, an ambassador of Abilities Expo in Houston, to the show.

A native Houstonian, Michelle has been a lifelong advocate and leader in disability inclusion. Her story spans decades of impactful service from serving under multiple mayors on Houston’s city commissions to traveling the country as Ms. Wheelchair America. Her work in health, transportation, urban planning, and inclusive recreation speaks to the kind of changemaker our cities need more of.

Join us for a conversation that’s reshaping how we view ability, advocacy, and access and its spotlight on lived experience, systemic change, and what it really means to build accessible futures.

If you believe in advocacy through storytelling, if you work in spaces where inclusion should be more than just a checkbox, or if you're simply ready to learn, this episode is for you.
