As a Disability Justice consultant, public speaker, somatics practitioner, and performance artist, India Harville has made it her mission over the past 20 years to open people’s minds to the wonder of their own bodies.

In 2016, she founded what is now known as Embraced Body, an organization that began by providing accessible classes to disabled communities. Since then, the’ve made affirming art funded by major philanthropic organizations and trained countless teams on accessibility and Disability Justice.

The intersection of India’s own identities as an African American, queer, disabled/chronically ill, femme, cis woman, informs all her work, from performing to educating to consulting. No matter what she is doing, she sets forth the example that however our bodies show up the world, they are perfect, worthy of existence, and capable of magic.
