Isaac Harvey MBE's Linkedin Analytics

Born and raised in East London, with a disability called limb/pelvic hypo/aplasia, which means no arms and short legs. I have never allowed my condition to be a barrier to my ambitions, my drive and my determination to succeed. What I have found is I am becoming increasingly disenchanted with the way the system operates. The thing is, I am very fortunate to be surrounded by a team of supportive individuals who help and guide me on an ongoing basis. My advocate especially is helping me get through a particularly interesting period in my life. May it not be an easy journey, I'm getting through it one step at a time. However, not everyone that is experiencing some form of disability, has a strong support network or is able to articulate their challenges effectively. My mission is to correct this and help those in need by empowering them to be the best they can be. From skiing and skydiving to tall ship sailing, Embracing every adventure with enthusiasm, where it is accepted first and questions are asked later. For over a decade, I've used my feet to operate computers, edit videos, manage emails and connect with the world. My journey has been marked by significant milestones and recognition. Recently, I was honoured with an MBE, awarded by King Charles himself, for my services and advocacy to those within the disability community. I have also modelled an official London Fashion Week catwalk which led me to being featured in Vogue magazine, sharing the importance of adaptive clothing. I've also built a following of over 40,000 people on LinkedIn, sharing my experiences and insights with a global audience. My role as an ambassador for several charities and as the president of Wheels and Wheelchairs - an organisation where roller skaters push wheelchair users - reflects my commitment to community and inclusivity. My achievements have been only possible because of the continued support of friends and family, who have always encouraged me to be the best version of myself. This support was crucial as I navigated the challenges of mental health, learning the importance of honesty and self-awareness. At the end of the day, my goal is not to change the world, but to make a difference in individual lives. By sharing both the highs and lows of my journey, I just want to have a realistic perspective on disability and it can still be a very fulfilling life.
