The Lilac Review UK Interim Report Launch

The Lilac Review UK Interim Report Launch. Seema sits in a red chair as a member of panel of stage.

What an insightful day yesterday at The Royal Society in London for The Lilac Review UK Interim Report launch!

As a disabled entrepreneur and contributor, witnessing the progress made in a few months was truly inspiring.

Grateful for the chance to share my entrepreneurial journey and contribute to vital improvements for disabled entrepreneurs in finance, accessible information, mentorship, and government consultation. These steps are crucial for creating a level playing field in the business world.

Discrimination often drives disabled individuals to entrepreneurship. Let’s continue our efforts towards inclusivity and equality for all in the business arena.

Big heartfelt thanks to Michelle Ovens CBE, Karen Campbell, The Small Business Britain team, Kevin Hollinrake, Dr Tom Williamson, Amelia Peckham, Minister Davies, and a special thanks to Victoria Jenkins, the co-chair, for taking the time to speak to me.
