Official Statement from MaryJane Salomon, our founder.
As Founder of the Global Creators Festival , I stand with the National Council on Disability Affairs (NCDA) in condemning the insensitive and discriminatory remarks against persons with disabilities in a recent podcast episode.
Freedom of expression is not a license to demean.
Humor is never an excuse for discrimination.
And influence without responsibility is not leadership.
To content creators, podcasters, and influencers:
Your platform is a privilege. Your influence carries responsibility. Use it to inspire, educate, and uplift-not to ridicule others for entertainment, engagement, or popularity.
Creativity must never come at the expense of human dignity.
Create with Purpose.
