Biography
Sophie Morgan: Disability Advocate & Broadcaster
Sophie is a broadcaster, author and disability advocate. Sophie was paralysed in a car crash when she was 18 and today is one of the only presenters in the world with a physical disability.
She has fronted shows including Loose Women, Living Wild (Channel 4), Crufts and the Paralympics and has been voted as one of the Top 10 most influential people with a disability in the UK.
She is also a disability campaigner, recently launching her #RightsOnFlights campaign, calling for the Government to grant the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) the powers to fine airlines if they fail to look after disabled passengers and make travel accessible for all. The campaign has already made big changes in the right direction. Most recently, Sophie appeared as the face of Channel 4’s show, Fight to Fly, determined to inspire change and inclusivity in the travel industry.
Sophie is a proud patron of Scope, Back Up & Human Rights Watch and has partnered with major brands such as Can-Am, PADI, and AirBnb (to promote their ‘Adapted’ rental Category).
In addition to her broadcast and commercial work, she also has a brilliant travel column with Conde Nast Traveller ‘Breaking Barriers’, which showcases the latest developments in accessible travel around the world. As part of this she has been lucky enough to travel to some incredible places including an accessible safari in South Africa, Scuba Diving in the Maldives and on many more amazing adventures.
