After learning of her own disability and chronic illness, Jacqueline was exposed to a persistent ableist mentality and she wasn’t a fan. This showed up a lot in her dating life and she couldn’t find a dating app that she felt safe using and that helped her meet people that understood disability. So, she teamed up with her sister and they launched The Dateability App.
