Work With Me

I’m a disabled content creator and disability public speaker.

My aim in this role is:

• To encourage neurodivergent and disabled people to know that they are enough.
• To prevent suffering by educating everyone about our conditions.

I’m physically disabled, autistic and have ADHD. I am also the Mother of children with additional needs. As such I have experience of both living with disability and of parenting neurodivergent children. I’m passionate about helping to support all disabled people.

Disabled Content Creator;

I work with brands who want to work with disabled content creators.

I believe that commercial content should be as engaging and relevant as the rest of my content. It should be as appealing to my audience, and create as big an impact.

Contact me ella@purpleella.com to discuss creating unique content together to promote your brand.

I just wanted to say thank you so much for your talk at yesterday’s session.  The participants universally put you down as the best part of the training, and several said the training could be improved by allocating more time to you! Gloucester Council training event
