Written by: Nikoleta Morales
In a split second, life changed for Carolina Ignarra. Following a harrowing accident, she would need to traverse the crowded streets of São Paulo, Brazil, in a wheelchair forever. She quickly discovered the biggest challenge she was about to face wouldn’t be her own disability, but systemic workplace discrimination for the broader Sao Paulo disabled population. Driven to educate managers on the meaning and value of inclusivity, Carolina started Talento Incluir to help promote new pathways for employers to value, hire and redefine what it means to be top talent. The documentary film 'Talento Incluir' detailing her journey can be seen on AppleTv or Google Playstore. The film is one of FIVE short films commissioned by Mastercard that follow the journey of five women from five countries across the globe who have each set out to start a purpose-driven business to improve their communities. The “FIVE” films in the Mastercard series include– HARFA, JUSTICE OF THE PIES, ONGANIC FOODS, SARAH’S BAG, and TALENTO INCLUIR.
