🌟 Isaac Samuels (CoProIsaaac): Change Maker and Intersectional Disability Rights Trailblazer 🌟

I’m Isaac Samuels, a passionate advocate, innovator, and trailblazer working at the intersection of disability rights, social justice, and accessibility. Drawing on my lived experience of multiple disadvantages, I understand how marginalisation can affect people in complex and intersecting ways. I use this insight to create spaces, practices, and opportunities that uplift everyone, especially those whose voices have historically been overlooked.

At the heart of my work is a commitment to inclusion and equity. I’ve been leading the way in developing anti-racist co-production practices within health and social care, designing approaches that ensure every perspective is valued. My work is not just about accessibility; it’s about building communities and systems where everyone can thrive and participate fully.

Storytelling is central to how I approach everything I do. I believe in the transformative power of sharing experiences, and in helping people reclaim and own their narratives. By listening, amplifying, and celebrating these stories, I show that lived experience is not only valid but profoundly powerful.

I wear many hats – someone with lived experience of disadvantage, Anti-Racism Lead, Participatory-Based Researcher, Co-Production Collective Member, Change Maker, Keynote Speaker, Author, Facilitator, and Visiting Lecturer at universities. In every role, I aim to inspire understanding, drive meaningful change, and champion equity and inclusion.

I invite you to join me on this journey of transformation, where barriers are dismantled, voices are amplified, and a more just, accessible, and compassionate world is created. As Maya Angelou said, “There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” I believe every story deserves to be heard.
