Al Etmanski

Al Etmanski is a Canadian social entrepreneur, author and community organiser who has spent decades advocating for the rights and inclusion of people with disabilities. He is the co-founder of several pioneering organisations, including Planned Lifetime Advocacy Network (PLAN) and the BC Social Innovation Council. The Power of Disability draws on his personal and professional experience to argue that disability is not a limitation but a source of innovation, empathy and social progress. The book celebrates the contributions of people with disabilities and challenges readers to rethink assumptions about ability and value. Al Etmanski's audiobooks and books offer listeners an inspiring and thought-provoking perspective on inclusion, community and what it means to build a more equitable society. His work is both deeply personal and broadly relevant.
