Overview
Tatiana Lee is an award-winning actress, international model, and activist. Growing up in Coatesville, Pennsylvania, Lee felt unseen in popular media. In 2010 Lee moved to Los Angeles to pursue her acting career. She learned to harness social media’s power to speak boldly about accessibility and inclusion in mass media due to the lack of access and opportunities for herself and others with disabilities.
She is the voice behind the AccessibleHollywood.com brand, highlighting her journey as an actress, model, and lifestyle influencer born with Spina Bifida. She quickly has become a sought-after speaker for brands like Apple, Bank of America, Human Rights Watch, and the LA Film Festival, to name a few.
Lee was in one of Apple’s first ad campaigns featuring people with disabilities. Some of Lee’s other credits include Stand Up, Together & Better, & Jade, to name a few.
She also has appeared in modeling campaigns for Target, Zappos, Apple, and more. She was the 2018 recipient of the Reeve Acting Scholarship Scholarship that she accepted during the Media Access Awards for her contribution to further disability inclusion in film and media.
Currently working at RespectAbility, Lee consults on various TV and film projects while training and growing momentum in her acting and modeling career. Lee aims to produce, write, and star in her own series and tell the stories only she can tell as a disabled woman in a wheelchair.

I live the experience of being a disabled black woman so my main focus is disabled people as a whole with a focus on disabled woman and I always talk about the intersections of all 3 and the barriers that exists for disabled black folks which is a huge part of the racial justice conversations. But I consider myself a expert on the knowledge of disability and disabled women
