Debra Ruh
Debra Ruh received her call to action when she was told by so-called “experts” that her daughter, Sara, who was born with Down Syndrome, would be lucky to push shopping carts at the local grocery store when she grew up.
She refused to accept that reality. Driven by her unshakeable faith in the power of human potential and the love for her daughter, Debra was determined to dedicate her life to create a path to empowerment and the success for those with disabilities.
When she told friends and family that she was going to start a for profit organization that would help companies see the worth and potential in hiring disabled employees, she was met with skepticism.
She went on to create Ruh Global Communications that focuses on Global Disability Inclusion, Digital Marketing, EmployAbility, ICT Accessibility, Human Rights, Social Media Marketing and implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD).
