Pitch Contest Speaker
Sena Someya is an alumna of the 2023 TOMODACHI Story Jam for Youth with Disabilities. She graduated from the Tokyo University of Science in the School of Management this spring where she studied marketing, gender, and minorities. Sena suffers from a congenital disease called spinal muscular atrophy, and has been in a wheelchair since she was a child. She wants to change the negative image of wheelchairs and disabilities by talking about her life, and tell many people that people with wheelchairs and disabilities can have fun. She has been giving lectures at companies in Japan and sharing information on social media to gradually spread awareness.
