Today I get to share my conversation with the brilliant Keely Cat-Wells who is a Disability Rights Advocate and CEO of Making Space. She founded her first company in hospital, which later became C Talent, a talent agency that represents Disabled artists, reshaping perceptions of disability. C Talent was acquired in 2022, marking a significant milestone for disability within the creative industries.

Keely is now the founder & CEO of Making Space, a talent acquisition and learning platform that develops accessible pathways to employment and career advancement through employer-backed courses for Disabled people. Notably securing partnerships with NBCUniversal, Netflix and Amazon.

Under the Making Space umbrella is Making Space Media, a division that creates film and TV content amplifying disabled narratives. Making Space Media secured a first-look deal with Reese Witherspoons, Hello Sunshine.

Keely is a Forbes 30 Under 30 honouree, Presidential Leadership Scholar, AdWeek Young Influential and Diana Award Winner.
