Hi! I'm
Anu Pala.
From Lived Experience to Lasting Impact
Advancing Accessibility, Inclusion & Belonging.
​​
Helping organizations move from awareness to meaningful, inclusive action.
For over 25 years, I’ve been dedicated to advancing accessibility, inclusion, and equity, working across the nonprofit sector and beyond to support meaningful change. As someone with lived experience of sight loss, I bring a perspective that is both personal and professional.
I’m passionate about challenging assumptions, reshaping how disability and accessibility are understood, and creating space for more inclusive ways of thinking and working. My approach is grounded in creativity, connection, and practical insight. I work with organizations and communities to move beyond awareness to build environments where people can fully participate, contribute, and feel a genuine sense of belonging.
I help organizations move beyond good intentions to create meaningful, lasting change in accessibility and inclusion.
Drawing on over 25 years of experience and my lived experience of sight loss, I partner with leaders, teams, and communities to turn insight into action and build environments where everyone can participate, contribute, and belong.
