143 - Reframing Disability as a Competitive Advantage with Simalumba Nawa

In this episode, Lois speaks with Simalumba Nawa on the business case for increased inclusion in business.

This wide-ranging conversation covers Sima’s story of becoming visually impaired, gaining blindness skills, how he began his work as an inclusion advocate, and some of the work he has done in this space.

Sima also discusses his work with corporates in Africa demonstrating the value of increasing inclusion not only in employment, but in all facets of their business and offerings.
