Haben Girma

Making Space is a Resource for Job Seekers

Two women smile as they lean toward each other for a picture. Keely Cat-Wells, a woman with light skin, long blonde hair,, wearing a sleeveless blue dress and white high heels, crouches beside Haben Girma. Haben, a woman with medium dark skin, long black hair, wearing a sleeveless multicolored dress and a support boot, is sitting in a wheelchair. She signs ILY with one hand while her other hand is on the Braille computer on her lap. Behind them is a large room with various people chatting.

Do you know a disabled job seeker? Tell them about Making Space, an organization connecting disabled people with employers vetted for accessibility. Joining and taking their training courses is free for job seekers. Founders Keely Cat-Wells and Sophie Morgan, both disabled women tired of workplace discrimination, joined forces to smash systemic barriers. I finally had the honor of meeting Keely at a wonderful Making Space event!
