Speaker Profile
In 2007, Ant Lewis faced a stroke that took away his ability to speak, read, and write - the very tools that defined his career. Through grit, determination, and an unshakable sense of purpose, Ant rebuilt his life and emerged as a powerful advocate for disability inclusion, equality, and social change.

​

With a background in journalism at the Jersey Evening Post and Channel 103, Ant has always been passionate about sharing stories that truly matter. His own journey has since become a powerful and inspiring story in its own right. Since 2021, Ant has worked in the Employment Social Security and Housing department for the Government of Jersey to help deliver the Disability and Inclusion Strategy.
