How Team Trust Is Changing Disability Representation in Media and Marketing

Ryan Wilson is the founder and director of Team Trust Productions, a disability‑led media company that partners with mission‑driven organizations to tell authentic stories of people with disabilities. He launched Team Trust after an early documentary project (“Seeing With Trust”) and now works with nonprofits and higher‑ed institutions to make marketing more accessible and inclusive. Ryan lives with Osteogenesis Imperfecta and speaks from lived experience about access, belonging, and representation.

Tim Villegas talks with Ryan Wilson about what authentic disability representation looks like—and why it matters in schools, higher education, and media. They dig into common pitfalls (the “inspiration” trope), practical fixes (accessibility in video and web, ASL, real stories), and how personal connections with students change outcomes.
