Our Keynotes
The Power of Ability — A Story of Courage, Care, and Connection
This powerful keynote invites audiences into a deeply personal and transformative journey of disability, caregiving, and the unshakable bond between two Indigenous sisters. Trish, living boldly with cerebral palsy, and Jen, her sister-turned-caregiver and advocate, share their intertwined stories with honesty, humour, and heart.
Together, they explore:
The courage it takes to be seen and heard in a world not built for everyone
The invisible labour and emotional complexity of caregiving
The founding of The Ability Company as a response to systemic gaps
The strength of their relationship and the resilience it fuels
The importance of intersectionality, representation, and communication beyond words
Through storytelling, Trish and Jen challenge assumptions, celebrate diverse abilities, and offer a call to action: listen, reflect, and act. This keynote is more than a talk—it’s an invitation to reimagine inclusion through the lens of lived experience and Indigenous identity.
