As the mother of a college student who has an intellectual disability, Camota Luebke strives to build a more inclusive world to which people of all abilities belong. In 2017, Camota Luebke received a Jefferson Award for Public Service for her volunteer work and academic research in disability inclusion. She is the co-founder of Ability Revolution, Inc., which advances authentic inclusion for people of all abilities in workplaces, educational institutions, and communities and a board member for All Belong Center for Inclusive Education, which equips private schools across the country to include students with varied abilities. Camota Luebke also served as the Advisory Board Chair for the Northern California chapter of Best Buddies, a global nonprofit organization which creates opportunities for one-to-one friendships, integrated employment, leadership development, and inclusive living for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

As part of her advocacy work, Camota Luebke has produced independent films and videos to share the experiences of individuals with disabilities and their families. Her award-winning documentary called “You Can Be BRAVE” is about her bold advocacy for her son to participate in all areas of society.

“Virtually every waking minute of my life is spent doing something with and for the disability community. That’s my passion,” said Camota Luebke. “This world wasn’t built for people with disabilities. Joining PRIDE Industries allows me to focus full-time on creating a fully inclusive world and workplace for people of all abilities.”
