Emma Vogelmann is a UK-based disability activist, policy expert, and podcast host driving systemic accessibility reform. As Head of Policy at a leading transport charity, she led a bold general election campaign in 2024 that reached hundreds of candidates and won cross-party backing for urgent accessibility legislation. Emma has met with government ministers and now works closely with the new administration to overhaul the UK’s transport system. Her podcast has become a vital platform for disability narratives, featuring powerful episodes on mental health, queerness, and motherhood. Emma’s writing appears in The Guardian, Stylist, and other national media, where she uses storytelling to challenge ableism and advance change. By combining political strategy with cultural impact, Emma is not just raising awareness—she’s transforming systems.
