Lagos student career expo

Stephanie Egharevba spoke at the Lagos Student Career Expo, engaging directly with students and young professionals on disability inclusion, accessibility, and representation within education and early career development.

During her session, she challenged common misconceptions around disability and employability, encouraging students, educators, and employers to rethink how opportunities are designed and who they are truly accessible to. She emphasized the importance of inclusive thinking from the earliest stages of career planning—highlighting how accessible systems, learning environments, and workplace tools can shape long-term outcomes.

Stephanie also shared insights on self-advocacy, resilience, and the role of inclusive design in creating equitable career pathways. Drawing from lived experience, she connected real-life barriers faced by students with disabilities to broader structural gaps within education and employment systems.

By speaking at the Lagos Student Career Expo, Stephanie reinforced the importance of early intervention and awareness—advocating for a future where students with disabilities are not excluded from opportunity, but actively supported to thrive.
