About Madeleine
I'm Madeleine. Most of my spare time goes into the community, sitting on codesign panels and workshops, pushing for the kind of systemic change that actually reaches people with disability, not just talks about it.
Youth Work is where my qualifications are, but the real reason I do this work is simpler: I grew up needing someone to tell me what I know now, and nobody did. So I'm the person I needed.
That's what Lightening Up is building towards. I want everyone to find their voice, know it's okay to say no, and know they have a right to be heard, whatever their situation. Longer term, I want this to grow into a business that turns lived experience into real tools for advocating for yourself, and shows everyone else how small changes make a big difference to accessibility.
