Donna Mack
Accessibility Consultant, Workshop Facilitator, Professional Keynote Speaker, Author
Donna Mack’s journey began with incredible odds: born two and a half months premature, she was given just a 2% chance of survival. This challenging start led to significant vision issues, and while Donna was always considered legally blind, her vision was just above the threshold—enough to let her read, ride bikes, and dream of becoming an artist. Throughout childhood, she embraced life much like any other kid, until further vision loss at age 12 made what had always felt inevitable, a reality.
Raised at the intersection of the sighted and disabled communities, Donna developed a unique perspective she describes as having "one foot in both worlds." Embracing this duality, she crafted the identity of the “Disability Diplomat”, expressing her lifelong mission to bridge understanding, foster inclusion, and advocate for people with disabilities while drawing connections from her own lived experience.
