Meet our Friend Sheldon

Sheldon Lewis has been a wonderful asset for ME International. He helped us access the amazing tools Accessibe has to offer that helps people with disabilities and challenges access our website in a safe meaningful manner. He works tirelessly to make the world a more inclusive and accessible place. 

My name is Sheldon Lewis, and at nine years old, I was diagnosed with Choroideremia, a progressive eye condition that gradually took my sight. Despite the challenges, I built my own business and a successful career, and I’m now a board member on the Choroideremia Research Foundation.

Today, as a Nonprofit Partnership Manager at accessiBe, I advocate for a world where accessibility is not an afterthought but a foundation for opportunity. 

Inclusion isn’t about checking boxes; it’s about ensuring that people with disabilities can fully participate in society, whether that be employment, shopping, or social life. This past month, I had the privilege of engaging in two conversations that reinforced this message: one with the blind and low vision community and another with the next generation of designers. These discussions highlighted the power of inclusive design and the role businesses and institutions play in shaping a more equitable future.
