Tiffany Yu is a disability advocate, entrepreneur, and author of The Anti-Ableist Manifesto. She started her career at Goldman Sachs before becoming a leader in disability inclusion.

She works to break barriers, share personal stories, and create more inclusive spaces. Through her efforts, she shows that disability is diverse and that working together can create real change.
