ABOUT

Best-seller author, professional speaker

and disability rights activist.

Photo of Juliana Carvalho: she is a wheelchair user, with blonde hair, fair skin and dark eyes.

Juliana was 19 when a spinal cord inflammation left her in a wheelchair. Since then she has been turning crises into opportunities.

 

After being awarded a Communications degree, Juliana worked for years as a Television presenter for a show called 'Make the Difference' in Brazil, which promoted disabled people's rights and respect for diversity.

A natural storyteller, Juliana wrote her autobiography "In My Chair Or Yours"? which draws humour & hope from difficult situations.

Garnering a strong public response, her book was a Best Seller in Brazil and ranked on the top 100 hot new releases on Amazon.

 

Since then Juliana has become a spokeswoman for the inclusion movement and a professional speaker whose anecdotes will make you laugh, cry and get inspired to tackle any obstacle in your life.

"Juliana was an exceptional guest speaker at our company’s event for International Day of People with Disability. Juliana was highly engaging and provided the team with fantastic insights around employment opportunities for people with disability, the importance of inclusive hiring practices, and how to promote greater diversity and inclusion within the workplace.

It was wonderful to hear Juliana speak about her experiences, and her passion towards advocacy for people with a disability and inclusion shone through. We really appreciated Juliana’s openness and willingness to share her story, and she gave our team with some great takeaways from the event.

Thank you, Juliana, you are awesome!"
