About this listen

"Ableism is everywhere, and we cannot continue just burying our heads in the sand. To not stand up to ableism is to contribute to the exclusion and discrimination of Disabled People."

Think you know what ableism is? Think again.

Welcome to Unlearning Ableism, the book rips the lid off outdated myths, exposes the hard-hitting stats, and prepares you to be the Disability inclusive ally we know you are!

Written by people who get it, this book is a call to action from Disabled advocates and changemakers from around the world. You'll learn about language, identity, advocacy, intersectionality and how to stop disabling people at work and at home. Whether you're Disabled and ready to self-advocate or an ally who wants to do more than just talk about inclusion, this is your starting point.

Let's shake things up, challenge the status quo, and unlearn ableism together with accountability and action. Ready? Let's do this.©2025 Celia Chartres-Aris and Jamie Shields

Critic reviews

This book redefines how we look at the word normal in the most welcoming way. Authors Celia and Jamie truly understand how to listen (not just hear) to our community and shine light on our collective abilities worldwide. (Dustin Giannelli, HearsDustin)
Having worked closely with Jamie, I've seen first-hand how his lived experience and professional expertise translate the complex into the practical. In Unlearning Ableism, he and Celia share a deeply personal, relatable guide-full of real-life anecdotes-that builds your 'antennae' to notice barriers, understand their impact, and remove them. It's about fostering fairness and opportunity not only in the workplace, but across everyday life-allowing every person to reach their full potential. With Jamie's gift for actionable guidance, it's a must-read for anyone committed to lasting change. (Judy Ellis, SVP& Head | Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging Consulting)
