Mabel Suglo - Founder of Dignified Wear on : Why Disability is NOT Inability

Dear Young Afrikan

Disability is not inability. Many would agree with this statement but what happens when you have to be served by a shop attendant who requires some extra time because of their disability? As an employer, would you be intentional about employing persons with disability or you feel they will be a liability? This week, Mabel Suglo joins us to share why she employs mostly disabled people and rural women for her business. She admits the journey has not been easy but she is quick to add that it is nevertheless fulfilling. We also discuss the pressing need for more inclusive spaces for disabled people especially in Africa, the lessons learnt from working with people with disability, how she runs her social enterprise and her plans for the future.

You can donate any amount to help the disabled community that Mabel supports using this link.
