My speeches always focus on implementing practical strategies for disability inclusion and accessibility As someone who hosts and speaks at events, it sounded like the perfect deal. The organiser of a conference, offering to be my personal chauffeur from London to Birmingham. But there was a twist – this was their offer after I refused to give up my time for free.
