🎬 STORIES THAT MATTER. PERFORMANCES THAT MAKE AN IMPACT. ❤️ At Act With Purpose, we are proud supporters of the accessibility community, and this demo reel scene tackles an issue that deserves more attention: the growing problem of individuals and companies taking advantage of people with disabilities. This message feels especially important during Down Syndrome Awareness Month, a time to celebrate inclusion, challenge stereotypes, and advocate for the dignity, independence, and rights of people with Down Syndrome and the broader disability community. Awareness must go beyond celebration. It must also mean standing up against exploitation and ensuring everyone is treated with respect. Matthew Hung did an incredible job bringing this character to life. Being able to draw from his own life experiences made this performance all the more powerful and authentic. There was a depth to his work that made this scene truly resonate. And Oswald Hunter gave Matthew SO much to work with! The two of them built something really special together, and watching this scene come to life was a beautiful reminder of why authentic representation and meaningful storytelling matter so much. ❤️ We believe everyone deserves to be seen, heard, respected, and protected. Stories like this help shine a light on the issues that matter. 👏 A huge round of applause to Matthew and Oswald for bringing this important story to the screen! #actwithpurposeintl #actor #downsyndrome #accessibility #scam

I had no clue this existed 👀 An RDSP is a savings plan made for Canadians with disabilities, and the government can contribute up to $90,000 in grants and bonds to it! According to a survey* by Concentra Trust, a reputed provider of registered plans in Canada, only 17% of Canadians know about this. If you have a disability or medical condition that affects your daily living, you could be eligible. We deserve financial security too. Check out the link in my bio with Concentra Trust to learn more. #ad #RDSP #ConcentraTrust #FinancialSecurity #RegisteredDisabilitySavingsPlan *These are the findings of a study/survey conducted by Concentra Trust from September 25-29, 2025, among a representative sample of 1,506 online Canadians who are members of the Angus Reid Forum. For comparison purposes only, a probability sample of this size would carry a margin of error of +/- 2.5 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.

This is REAL. And we need to talk about it. 💔 I'm still dumbstruck about losing my sweet friend @rjmitte. I keep rereading our messages, searching for something I might have missed. In 2019 he wrote, “Just keeping my head above water for a start but just working.” After the extraordinary success of Breaking Bad, what comes next? We may never truly know what RJ was going through behind closed doors. Living with a disability brings daily challenges many never see. The stares, judgments, ableism, financial strain, relationships & a world still not fully accessible or supportive. Add an industry where disabled actors fight for limited roles, even after success, & the pressure can be enormous. Talent isn't the problem. Opportunity is. It takes me back to my dear friend Chris Voelker @cvfotoz a phenomenal photographer & quadriplegic whom we also lost to suicide. We spoke about pressure, sadness & struggles the world rarely sees. I carry those talks with me. After two years away from LA, I returned to the @abilities_expo. Behind the smiles & beautiful social media posts, friends quietly shared that they were struggling, some w/ suicidal thoughts. My heart listened. And it stayed with me. Long before my accident, I struggled with suicidal thoughts. I know those demons. After becoming paralyzed, I chose a positive path because I knew I couldn't go down that dark road again. I chose to roll with God, guided by His purpose flowing through my vessel. That's what keeps me grounded & focused. If you're hurting, PLEASE SAY SOMETHING!!! Tell someone you trust. You don't need perfect words. Start with “I'm struggling.” If speaking to someone you know feels too hard, call or text 988 in the U.S. for free, confidential crisis support. And when someone reaches out, LISTEN. Be present. Follow up. Let love become ACTION. I wish RJ & I had more time. I'll honor him, Chris Voelker, Robin Williams & those we've lost by making time for those still here. YOU MATTER. NO ONE ROAMS ALONE. WE RISE AS ONE. 💜 My heart goes out to RJ's family, Kennedy, our community & the lives he touched. RJ, may your soul rest in eternal serenity. I'll love you for eternity. 🤍🕊️ XOXO, Ange 🤍🥹

Making the world better one federal building takeover at a time. Being Heumann is in select theaters November 6. Streaming November 13 on Apple TV. [Video Description: Rock music begins to play. Text: FROM SIÂN HEDER. Voiceover: Disability is not a tragedy, it is a tremendous hassle. Text: DIRECTOR OF ACADEMY AWARD WINNING BEST PICTURE CODA. Ruth Madeley as Judy Heumann sits impatiently in bed while she waits for her late caretaker to arrive. Text: Apple Original Film. Reporter Evan White, played by Dylan O’Brien, covers a protest where disabled people and their allies chant “Sign 504.” Text: BASED ON A TRUE STORY. “STORY” is crossed out and replaced with “REVOLUTION.” Ruth Madeley as Judy Heumann motivates protesters with a powerful speech about accessibility. She makes calls to politicians who ignore her, including Joseph Califano played by Mark Ruffalo, who feels the movement is asking for too much. Judy and her allies occupy a federal building and refuse to leave until the regulations are signed. The Black Panthers offer aid. The protesters struggle but persevere. Text: THIS FALL. BEING HEUMANN. SCREENPLAY BY SIÂN HEDER & REBEKAH TAUSSIG. DIRECTED BY SIÂN HEDER. IN SELECT THEATERS NOV 6 STREAMING NOV 13. APPLE TV LOGO.] #BeingHeumann #AppleTV

Independence is not a straightforward path, but every little task counts! I’m so excited to get these @wearzipped ! Don’t get me wrong. I do love my other adaptive shoes, but it’s nice to have an alternative that’s exactly what I used to wear before my injury. #quadriplegic #spinalcordinjury #tetraplegic #disability #adaptive

I had someone comment under one of my videos lately saying “Thank god that would never be me” (Under a video about my wheelchair) “Never?!?!?!” 🙄🧐 That level of certainty is fascinating 🤨 Let this be your reminder that disability is one of the only communities any person can become part of at any point in their life. And yet so many people still treat accessibility like it has nothing to do with them 🙃🫠🥲😩 - #accessibility #disability #disabled #relatable

When Being Heumann opened @tiff_net it felt like a meaningful marker of a shift I’ve been noticing for a while: disability is becoming more present across mainstream media, advertising, fashion and culture. But for brands, representation is only the beginning. Who gets to shape the story? Can people actually experience the work? And does what the brand does support what it says? A few examples—and a few thoughts on where brands go from here. → The full piece is on Substack. Link in bio. #DisabilityRepresentation #InclusiveDesign #BrandStrategy Carousel cover featuring Ruth Madeley as disability-rights activist Judy Heumann, seated in a wheelchair with her arms raised during a protest scene from Being Heumann. Text reads: “Representation is only the beginning. What a new era of disability representation asks of brands.”
