New Delhi [India], October 8:<\/strong> When 11-year-old twins Eva and Amaira Deotale took the stage at\u00a0TEDxMiltonKeynesYouth<\/a><\/strong>, the audience anticipated a simple youth talk. Instead, they witnessed a powerful call to action that continues to resonate far beyond the auditorium walls.<\/p>\n

\u201cDisability does not mean defeat; it means determination,\u201d the twins declared during their talk Through Our Eyes: Rethinking Disability, urging society to shift from viewing disability as a limitation to recognising it as a symbol of resilience and possibility. The overwhelming response in the room was followed by thousands more engaging with their message online via the\u00a0TEDx YouTube\u00a0channel.<\/p>\n

A Campaign Rooted in Inclusion\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Eva and Amaira are no strangers to advocacy. As co-founders of Being Purple, their campaign to make disability conversations accessible to children and communities, the twins have worked tirelessly to foster inclusion<\/p>\n

In just two years, they have:<\/p>\n

\u25cf Delivered disability awareness sessions to hundreds of schoolchildren.<\/p>\n

\u25cf Raised over \u00a37,000 for muscular dystrophy charities.<\/p>\n

\u25cf Authored two children\u2019s books teaching kindness, empathy, and inclusion.<\/p>\n

\u25cf Launched a school magazine to spread equality among peers.<\/p>\n

\u25cf Experimented with AI-powered inclusion tools like AccessGPT and digital \u201cinclusion agents.\u201d<\/p>\n

They have also engaged Members of Parliament to highlight the lack of disability awareness in the education system, calling for inclusion to be prioritized in future curricula.<\/p>\n

National and International Recognition<\/strong><\/p>\n

Their impact has not gone unnoticed. Eva and Amaira have been honoured with prestigious awards, including:<\/p>\n

\u25cf The UK Prime Minister\u2019s Points of Light Award.<\/p>\n

\u25cf Recognition by Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.<\/p>\n

\u25cf The Mayor\u2019s Award for leadership in community initiatives.<\/p>\n

\u25cf Multiple school awards for service and inclusion.<\/p>\n

These accolades not only recognise their extraordinary efforts but also underscore the importance of empowering young voices to drive societal change.<\/p>\n

Merging Creativity, Technology, and Advocacy \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

What distinguishes the twins is their ability to combine creativity and technology with advocacy. From writing children\u2019s books to developing AI tools, they demonstrate that inclusion can be both innovative and relatable. Their work proves that inclusion is more than a concept \u2014 it is something to be lived, practiced, and advanced daily.<\/p>\n

Looking Forward \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

For Eva and Amaira, the TEDx stage was not a conclusion but a milestone. They continue to expand\u00a0<\/a>Being Purple<\/strong>, collaborating with schools, communities, and global organisations to advance disability inclusion worldwide.<\/p>\n

As they reminded their TEDx audience: \u201cWhere some may see life limited, we see some of the strongest people in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n
