Photo of Emily Ladau, a white woman who is wearing glasses and has curly brown hair pulled back halfway, with the rest framing her face. She is wearing a black dress dotted with red flowers and green leaves. She is sitting in a power wheelchair, facing the camera, and smiling. One of her hands is resting in her lap and the other hand is resting on the joystick of her wheelchair, turned so that a tattoo of a peacock feather is visible on her inner arm.

Hello! I’m Emily Ladau.

I’m a passionate disability rights activist, writer, storyteller, and digital communications consultant whose career began at the age of 10, when I appeared on several episodes of Sesame Street to educate kids about life with a physical disability. I’m the co-host of The Accessible Stall Podcast, and author of Demystifying Disability: What to Know, What to Say, and How to be an Ally.
