About URevolution: Changing the Narrative
Our Mission: Inclusive Fashion, Authentic Expression
We are a Black, disabled, woman-owned social enterprise on a mission to tell better stories about life with chronic illness or disability. We run a Diversity Inclusion Disability Magazine, empowering disabled people to submit personal essays about their lived experiences. Your purchase supports that mission.
🖤 At URevolution, we believe in bold, unapologetic representation for ALL marginalized voices everywhere. Our designs champion Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) across race, gender, sexuality, disability, neurodivergence, and chronic illness.
🛍️ Our collections reflect a bigger movement—one that centers disability inclusion, intersectional advocacy, and real representation. Whether you're neurodivergent, disabled, chronically ill, or an ally—this is your space.
🌍 Our Mission: We create fashion that sparks conversations, challenges stereotypes, and builds community.
💥 Join us in making DEI more inclusive—because disability belongs in diversity.
Our Story
We’re a husband-and-wife team living with chronic illness and disability. Corinne has experienced clinical depression; in 2023, she was also diagnosed with ADHD and autism, further embracing her identity as neurodivergent. Brendan lives with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), chronic heart disease, and peripheral neuropathy. In October 2023, he had open-heart surgery (aortic valve replacement and aneurysm repair), followed by three transient ischaemic attacks (mini-strokes) resulting in cerebral microbleeds in the frontal and temporal lobes.
Despite these challenges, we feel more energized than ever in our commitment to our mission at URevolution.
Where It All Began
We started with the question: what if we weren't ashamed of disability or chronic illness?
We found that navigating social situations—and life in general—was just plain difficult. So we started asking questions:
- What if we didn’t have to hide our differences or “overcome” them?
- What if we could talk openly about disability and chronic illness without fear or shame?
- What if we could spark a culture shift that highlights disability in a positive, authentic way?
We quickly realized that most media representations of disabled people are limited or riddled with stereotypes. So, in Spring 2018, we launched a lifestyle magazine for people living with chronic illness or disability. From there, we set out to create a vibrant, truly inclusive visual culture around disability—and a kickass one at that.
Celebrating inclusion.
URevolution is the lifestyle brand of the future—a future where Body Positivity includes our medical conditions, neurodiversity, and “mismatched” bodies. It’s where diversity transcends box-ticking and marketing campaigns, and instead embraces everyone regardless of ability, color, gender, religion, or sexual orientation.
We know there’s still work to do before we can offer 100% inclusive plus sizes across all products. But we promise we’re working hard to get there. Your purchase helps move us closer to that vision.
