Advocacy and Policy Development to Drive Systemic Change

Few people have inspired me as much as Reena. Her passion for championing disability rights, equity, and access is unparalleled. As an individual with disabilities, a father of sons with disabilities, and an executive with LA’s Department on Disability, I commend her leadership in driving systemic change—from spearheading the first-ever CP motion in LA County and lighting up City Hall for CP Awareness Day to launching the county’s first CP webinar and securing LAUSD’s recognition of World CP Day. Reena reminds me of the importance of recognizing the humanity we all share.
