Meet Daniel Durant Opening Doors Through Inclusion and Work
Daniel Durant was born deaf and grew up navigating a world that often didn’t know how to include him. In 2021, he starred in CODA, the Oscar-winning film that brought deaf culture to global attention. But Daniel’s story doesn’t stop at visibility he’s using his platform to break down systemic barriers in employment, access, and creative industries, proving that inclusive growth means no one is left behind.
He reminds us that economic dignity is about opportunity, not charity.
