Including the disabled perspective in advocacy | Angeline Dziegrenuk | TEDxRutgersCamden

When considering the perspective of a disabled person, it is easy to only consider the physical and mental daily challenges and neglect the social and societal challenges that they face. When we spend more time imagining their experience than asking the people who live it, we run the risk of causing more harm than good to those we aim to support. Angeline Dziegrenuk uses her own experiences as a disabled individual to illustrate the full scope of challenges disabled people face and how they can be respectfully supported.

An aspiring activist and entrepreneur, Angeline Dziegrenuk is a student of many interests and hobbies looking forward to breaking into the fashion industry. While studying at the Atlantic County Institute of Technology for Fashion Decoration and Design in high school, she became the first student in a wheelchair to design and model her own clothing for her academy’s annual fashion shows. She also became the titleholder of Junior Miss Wheelchair New Jersey for the Year 2020 and 2021. After gaining experience in the fashion industry, Angeline dreams of launching an adaptive clothing line to promote self expression and independence for the disabled community. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
