Mabel Suglo - Founder of Dignified Wear on : Why Disability is NOT Inability
Listen now
Description
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.
