Hosting the London leg of the BBC/ITV #disabilityfocus event today. Currently listening to @ElaineWITV in sunny Salford talking about ITV News's work to increase representation of disabled people.
Thank you everyone for your brilliant messages, humour, support and purpleness. Today was joyful for @KateNashOBE and me. After decades of working in this space, it finally feels like we are at an inflection point💜 @500Valuable @VirginMediaCorp@Omnicom@OneYoungWorld
Fully stand by what I’m saying here! 👇🏻😀👇🏻
If you’re living with a #disability, don’t hide away - go out and ASK for what you want. You’ll be surprised by how much #support you’ll receive.

Wonderful to catch up with my award-winning friends Jane and Hormoz @ResultCIC this morning for coffee and cake! A special treat on #IDPWD2019#IDPD2019#IDDP2019 🍰☕️
Great purple coordination guys! #PurpleLightUp 😍💜💜💜
‘Nothing for us without us’ - where are all the disabled models on @itv shows - asked @samrenke who’s on fashion point. Brilliant straight talking insights @bbc_ability#DisabilityFocus

We're celebrating #PurpleLightUp today! So proud to see #Fujitsu and the #FDEs lighting up the offices - how does amazing Stevenage look?! No purple socks this year☹️but still thrilled to celebrate International Day for Persons with Disabilities. 💜💜
