Disability shouldn’t determine anyone’s future — Prada Uzodimma

What led you and your sister to found The Ability Life Initiative?

TALI was born from a simple belief: disability should never determine a person’s opportunities in life. My sister and I have always been passionate about serving our community, but studying in the United Kingdom gave us a new perspective on what true inclusion could look like.

When we returned to Nigeria, the contrast was impossible to ignore. We saw how inaccessible many environments were and how disability was too often viewed through the lens of charity rather than rights, dignity and equal opportunity. We knew we couldn’t simply acknowledge the problem; we had to become part of the solution.
