The moment you start to remove the mask you realize you have been somebody for everyone but yourself.

There is nothing wrong with us, but there is something wrong with society and this has to change.

We’ll have 3 global changemakers / autistic influencers who will share their candid unmasking story, as well as practical tips for neurodivergents to unmask and neurotypicals to support. We’ll also learn about their journey in going on to share their authentic voices with a global audience on social media. 

Why are we launching this webinar series?

If we’re going to start a movement to change the workforce of the future to be more inclusive for all, we need to understand the beauty of thought diversity, and how to build a culture of empathy and understanding for neurodivergents.

 

To bring these neurodiverse voices to the forefront, Mentra is organizing a Webinar and blog series called [Neuro]diversifying the workforce of the future so we can hear directly from self-advocates, industry leaders and changemakers about how we can step into a new inclusive reality, together.

 

Our main goal with this series is to lower the barriers to employment by bridging the ecosystem partners & creating a centralized network for inclusive employers to hire neurodivergent talent in an accessible manner.
