Our People with Disabilities (PwD) Employee Resource Group (ERG) transformed the courtyards at our San Rafael and Novato sites into vibrant art exhibits celebrating the creativity and talent of local individuals living with disabilities in partnership with Marin Ventures. Marin Ventures provides a day program that offers creative arts and other enriching activities for adults with developmental disabilities, helping to foster independence and personal growth.

Eat Mozzeria, a local deaf-owned and operated Bay Area pizza truck, provided lunch at the event, offering not only delicious food, but also a chance for employees to learn more about communication within the deaf community.

We want to thank our PwD ERG for putting on these events at our Northern California sites, highlighting some of the talents of people in our community who are living with a disability.

Angel is a typical teenager working toward independence while seeking his parents' support. He is also learning to chart his own path while living with , a genetic skeletal condition and the most common form of dwarfism.

“My parents let me choose what to do and what not to do, but always give me their personal opinions,” says Angel. “Even if they don’t agree, they support me.”

Angel is one of several individuals sharing their lived experience with achondroplasia on The Inside Story website, an informational resource designed to assist families navigating achondroplasia and highlight opportunities to meet others in the community.

Developed with input from patient advocacy leaders and healthcare professionals specializing in skeletal dysplasias, the website shares information, general advice and practical tips for individuals and families managing achondroplasia and other skeletal conditions.

Meet Lola, a young woman from Seville, Spain who is working to establish a medical career by interning as an anatomopatholgist – a specialist who studies the effects of medical conditions on the structure of the body's organs and tissues.

Lola Angulo Martin is also using her voice to increase awareness of the daily realities of living with achondroplasia to help dispel stereotypes and advocate for a more inclusive and accessible society. Participating in a social media campaign called , created by Fundación Alpe Acondroplasia in collaboration with BioMarin, Lola invites others to view the world from her perspective. She highlights the unique considerations for people living with achondroplasia around daily tasks many take for granted, such as navigating her work environment, riding public transportation, cooking, eating at restaurants, and shopping for clothes and groceries.

“I want the world to see what it’s like to live with achondroplasia,” writes Lola in one of her posts, inviting others in the community to participate. “I encourage you to show the reality of living with skeletal dysplasias to help break down barriers and challenge stereotypes.”

We thank Lola for providing a glimpse into her everyday life, and our partners at ALPE for collaborating on this campaign.

Our People with Disabilities (PwD) Employee Resource Group recently hosted a panel discussion and educational event about the history of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) ahead of the 35th anniversary of the landmark piece of legislation.

Panelists included individuals living with a disability, caregivers and allies who spoke about how BioMarin and other companies can effectively address the needs of employees living with or caring for someone with a disability. The speakers shared stories about navigating their personal lives and the workplace, and offered ideas for creating an inclusive and supportive environment where people with disabilities can join others in bringing their full, authentic selves to work.

As we recognize the anniversary of the ADA and California’s proclamation of July as Disability Pride Month, we thank the PwD team and panelists for sharing their perspectives. This dialogue highlighted both the significant progress of the past 35 years, as well as the work still needed to create a more accessible and equitable society.
