My name is Kerise Myers and I'm the CEO, Founder & Project Lead of Inclusion Support Hub, an inclusive services directory and membership platform supporting neurodivergent & disabled business owners to increase their visibility, build meaningful connections and grow their businesses sustainably. 

My journey into entrepreneurship was never planned. Like many disabled entrepreneurs, self employment became a way to build a career around my health due to being very misunderstood for many years within employment. 

I was diagnosed Autistic and ADHD in my late 20s and live with a rare genetic condition called Tuberous Sclerosis Complex, alongside several hidden disabilities including fibromyalgia, hEDS, POTs and PMOS. I am also a full time carer and home educating SEN mum to my son, while supporting my husband who is also neurodivergent. Every day involves balancing business, caring responsibilities and my own health. 

Before starting Inclusion Support Hub, I spent years advocating for neurodivergent people, sharing my lived experiences with organisations including the National Autistic Society, Your Autism Magazine and Mind. Throughout that time I kept seeing the same problem. There were so many incredible business owners like me creating genuinely inclusive services or willing to use more inclusive and accessible practices, yet many struggled to be seen because traditional networking and marketing often were not accessible or sustainable. 

That was the moment Inclusion Support Hub was born. 

I wanted to create more than just another directory. My vision is to build a trusted community where neurodivergent, disabled and lived experience led business owners can be found more easily, form genuine connections and access opportunities to grow without feeling they have to hide who they are and begin to experience burnout. 

Although we officially launched earlier this year, every step forward feels significant. Seeing members join, hearing how the platform is helping people connect and watching the community grow reminds me why I started. 

Living with hidden disabilities has taught me resilience, creativity and determination. There are days where my health makes everything more challenging, but it has also shaped the way I lead my business. Accessibility, acceptance and inclusion are not marketing words to me. They are lived experiences that influence every decision I make. 

My goal is for Inclusion Support Hub to become a recognised platform that helps create lasting opportunities for inclusive businesses across the UK, while showing that neurodivergent and

disabled entrepreneurs can build successful, sustainable businesses without changing who they truly are.
