If you’ve ever felt like the spaces you want to work or exist in weren't built with your brain or body in mind, this episode is a must-listen. Joining the podcast is the incredible sarah leigh, an award-winning filmmaker, writer, director, and the powerhouse founder of inclusivity films and inclusive talent.
In this open, honest, and eye-opening conversation, we dive deep into what it really takes to break down barriers in the creative industries. sarah shares why true, absolute accessibility is a continuous work in progress, and how we can move past tokenism to create spaces where neurodivergent and disabled talent can actually feel seen, heard, and supported. we explore the reality of navigating the film and television world, the power of putting actionable access riders on sets, and why a lack of access holds back some of the most brilliant creatives in the industry. sarah also opens up about her personal journey as a neurodivergent creative, being a mother to a disabled son, and her incredible advocacy work with the nhs to develop healthcare passports that make medical appointments easier to navigate for those with complex needs.
