Thank you for the insight, learnings, and authenticity. This course has been so great to help me push myself when it comes to the whole creative process. Making Space thank you for facilitating, Andy thank you for your wisdom and Netflix thank you for always having stories to share.”

Making Space & the Ascend Fellowship gave me the confidence to pursue and land my first full-time job in three and a half years!! Which still feels surreal to say out loud. Before finding this community, I had given up hope of ever finding work again, but being part of Making Space changed that. I now have the tools to navigate the workplace, and advocate for myself in ways I didn't think were possible before.”

Making Space is straight to the point, insightful, accessible, and gives insight that you wouldn't find anywhere else. The courses I took were really well-done, accessibility has been amazing, better than anything I have ever found previously, it even includes a toggle for an ASL Interpreter has been helpful. It's been well-thought out in mind for those with disabilities and has been very easy to navigate. I love this platform and community"

It means so much to see a platform where disabled creators lead both the training content and the job board itself. The result is something other platforms consistently miss, videos and opportunities that reflect how disabled professionals actually experience work. Thank you.

What an enlightening process joining this platform has been! Each step has been a treasure trove of insights and advice. The guidance provided will undoubtedly serve as a valuable resource to revisit time and again. On the Netflix course, the support with crafting a showreel was particularly impactful. It demystified the process and instilled confidence that even without traditional experience, there are innovative ways to showcase my ability.

Having dyslexia and audio processing issues made school challenging, but discovering content I'm passionate about changed everything. Learning through videos, colorful PDFs, and notes that suit my learning needs has been a game-changer. I deeply appreciate the support and understanding from Making Space. Their kindness and respect have made a significant difference, and I'm thankful to be a part of this journey.
