SUMMARY:Disability in the Media
DESCRIPTION:Disability in the Media\nExplore authentic disability representation in media & learn inclusive practices at our DEAM 2025 session on November 19.\n\n\n\nJoin us on November 19th with Katie MacMillan from Kello Inclusive\, as part of AEFN’s DEAM 2025 Campaign. Disability in the Media invites employers and disability sector professionals to explore how media can move beyond tokenism toward authentic disability representation. \nThe session will examine the historical exclusion of disabled voices in Canadian media\, challenge harmful tropes such as the “Super Crip” and “Tragic Victim\,” and emphasize the importance of cross-disability perspectives and inclusive language. \nAttendees will learn how to identify ableism\, adopt more responsible storytelling practices\, and involve disabled talent at every stage of media creation. Real-world examples from Kello Inclusive will demonstrate what meaningful inclusion looks like in practice\, while practical tools and strategies will help participants evaluate and improve their own media content. \nThe session will conclude with an open Q&A\, reinforcing the call to shift narratives by centering disabled voices and building inclusive\, accessible media from the ground up. \nASL available upon request. \nREGISTER HERE\nKatie is a mother\, leader\, advocate\, and the founder of Kello Inclusive – a talent agency exclusively representing disabled and visibly different talent\, because the beauty of disabilities\, diversities\, and differences deserves to be represented fairly and fully.Katie spent 15 years teaching French\, English\, Psychology\, and Sociology in an Edmonton Public high school before transitioning careers nearly two years ago. Her experience as an educator shaped her passion for equity and inclusion\, but it was her lived experience as the parent of four beautiful children – one of whom lives with Cerebral Palsy – that truly redefined her path. Her daughter’s disability and the many experiences that have come with it sparked Katie’s deep commitment to advocacy\, social justice\, and reimagining representation in media. These experiences are at the heart of why Kello Inclusive exists today: to challenge ableism\, create meaningful opportunities\, and push for authentic\, inclusive storytelling in the entertainment industry.
