Lauren Pires

Invisible Disability Speaker and PR/Media Lead in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada

Yay, you're here!

I'm Lauren - I'm an award-winning invisible disability speaker and PR & Media Lead for a multi-day South Asian festival in Canada, #BollywoodMonster Mashup.

Born with Central Core Disease, a rare neuromuscular disorder, I have about 33% strength of the average person, but I'm known for my yay-saying and 100% spirit.

In November 2023 I competed in the Speaker Slam Grand Slam, the yearly finale of North America's largest inspirational speaking competition, where I came second place and became the #2 Inspirational Speaker of the Year.

I've been featured on CityNews Toronto, RareDiseaseDay.org, InSauga and more.
