This started from something personal.
I'm neurodivergent, and I work in higher education, inclusion, accessibility and accommodations. Over the years, I have noticed similar issues at large celebrations: autistic kids and adults, or those with Down syndrome, were either not brought at all or quietly moved to the edge of the room. Elders who couldn't follow a word of the speeches, sitting confused and left out. Guests triggered by loud music and lights, leaving with migraines and a ruined evening. Guests spending the whole night managing their environment instead of being in the moment.
Weddings, events, and celebrations exist for one reason: to bring everyone together. Not most people. Everyone. Nobody should leave a joyful occasion feeling less than, different, or like they were on the outside of something meant for them.
But the room often isn't built for the whole family.
Front Row is my attempt to bring inclusion and joy to every guest, one celebration at a time.
