A message born from pride, truth, and becoming

Alycia wrote OWN IT: Embrace, Elevate, Empower as a love letter to herself, her community and her advocacy.

Alycia smiles while writing in a notebook at a table with a black podcast microphone beside her. She is wearing a pink patterned top, with a softly blurred living room in the background.

It became the story of finding her way back to pride, learning to embrace her disability, elevating it into the world, and turning lived experience into power, purpose, and possibility for herself and others.

This keynote is personal. It is joyful. It is honest. It is rooted in the Disability Pride movement and created for anyone ready to better understand disability identity, access, belonging, and action.

For everyone who has ever asked, “How can I come see you speak?” this is it.

A live virtual Disability Pride Keynote Celebration where community members, allies, ERGs, HR leaders, DEI professionals, accessibility professionals, corporate teams, and advocates can come together to honor the ADA, celebrate disability pride, and leave ready to embrace, elevate, and empower the movement forward.
