In this episode of the Inclusive Pathways Podcast, host Jessica Winchester chats with Michael Grimmett, disability advocate and creator of Comments Disabled, for a meaningful conversation about leadership, lived experience, and the future of disability inclusion.

Michael shares his journey as a disabled professional and advocate, reflecting on what he’s learned from working alongside and being led by other disabled leaders. Together, Jessica and Michael explore how authentic representation in leadership is essential.

They dive into:
  • Why disability representation in leadership changes how organizations think and act
  • How lived experience creates better decision-making and innovation
  • The importance of accessibility as a leadership mindset
  • What inclusive leadership really looks like in practice
  • How small, consistent changes can shift culture from awareness to accountability
Michael reminds us that when disabled people lead, inclusion stops being a checkbox and becomes a catalyst for change.

Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
