Disability & Cultural Inclusion Educator

Margarita Elizondo is a Disability & Cultural Inclusion Educator, speaker, and advocate committed to reshaping how society understands accessibility, identity, and belonging. With over a decade of experience across education, community engagement, and public speaking, she is known for creating spaces where equity is not an afterthought—but a foundation.

She earned her Bachelor of Arts in Communication from San Diego State University, where her academic work focused on how media, language, and culture shape perceptions of disability and marginalized identities. Her connection to higher education spans more than 13 years as a guest lecturer in courses such as Disability and Society and Teaching as a Profession, where she brings lived experience into the classroom to deepen learning and challenge assumptions.

She previously founded Rolling With Me, an initiative centered on accessibility and representation, and continues to carry that work forward through education, storytelling, and advocacy. Margarita is also the creator of National Disabled Authors Day and the author of the Inclusive Minds children’s book series. Through her work, she is helping reimagine whose stories are told—and who gets to feel seen.
