Winston Ben Clements is a Keynote Speaker & Disability Advocate with expertise in the areas of disability awareness, anti-racism and resilience. He is passionate about supporting the world’s leading organizations to deliver cultural change that is truly inclusive.
As a young person, Winston not only had to deal with the typical challenges of school and adolescence, but he also struggled with loneliness and frustration because his body would continuously let him down. Watching his siblings and the other kids from the sidelines was a constant reminder of how different he was, and he often found himself wondering “what is the point of it all?”
Despite this, Winston considers himself to be one of the lucky ones. A significant number of people with OI do not make it beyond childhood. He was also born into a family who were destined to cope with a son who refused to allow his physical condition to limit his ambition. Winston credits his positive attitude to his Christian faith, as well as all the encouragement he has received from family, friends and well-wishers along his journey.
Winston graduated from University with a degree in Computer Science and then spent over 10 years working as a Consultant for global tech corporations. His current work as a Keynote Speaker and Advocate for the rights of persons with disabilities continues to have transformational effects on audiences worldwide.
Winston has shared his story on stages, conferences and media platforms all around the world. He has partnered with global brands including Google, EY and Disney as well as featuring on BBC, Good Morning America and the Today Show.
