Fig Daily Media

FIG Daily is a content agency focused on creating digital storytelling, products and experiences that empower causes, brands and businesses. Their solution for this challenge, Inclusion Inc, is lead by founder Leigh Felesky who will conduct a multi-platform storytelling research project to share stories of people living with disabilities working in a wide range of industries. Rich narratives will provide insight, knowledge and awareness of the barriers and possible solutions to career advancement both at an individual and employer level. The stories, for example, will aim to provide lived experience knowledge and support for people living with disabilities navigating career advancement. At the same time, employers will be called upon to question attitudinal bias and consider a re-think regarding inclusion that could lead to better workplace structures and open support networks.
