Hi everyone, my name is Sena Pottackal. A bit of a self-description, I'm a CIS female who uses she, her and her pronouns. I'm a first generation Indian American with medium brown skin, brown eyes, and long black hair.I have multiple disabilities including blindness, Vertigo inducing migraines, ADHD, and PTSD. I'm wearing a coral blouse with a black blazer, pants, and shoes. I am so honored and humbled to receive the 2024 Next Gen Alumni of Excellence Award. Thank you Disability:IN for this remarkable honor. I am beyond grateful for the unwavering support and life changing mentorship I've received from the Disability:IN family over the past three years. Next, I want to thank my colleagues at Current Global. Everything I've achieved professionally over the past few years have been a collective endeavor, and I am so fortunate to work alongside such kind, inclusive, and passionate people. Lastly, I need to thank my family, especially my mom who is here today. [Applause] Everything I am is a reflection of who they are. They're, they have, oh, they're wonderful. [Laughter] So their love and unwavering support, they've grounded me in the belief that my disability is an invaluable and indisputable strength. Their unconditional support and enduring encouragement has empowered me to leverage my unique skills to relentlessly advocate for disability inclusion. I always say that who you're with determines where you'll go. So thank you all so much for getting me to this moment that I will remember for the rest of my life. I love and appreciate you all. Thank you so much.
