About Elly Chapple....and Being Human
Why do we need to talk about being human?
Elly’s greatest teacher wasn’t a scholar or guru — it was her eldest daughter.
Being DeafBlind and often underestimated by society, she lit the way for Elly’s work, showing her how to Flip the Narrative. To reimagine what it truly means to be human — and why that matters for every single one of us.
Because here’s the truth:
The most humanised space often exists in the margins.
Where society still narrates “less,” her daughter showed Elly more — what more courage, more connection, more clarity looked and felt like. Pushing “difference” to the edges, means we miss entirely the value of our very diverse species.
And here’s the thing:
We’re all different. We always have been.
So let’s stop reducing this to “diversity and inclusion.”
Let’s start talking about being human, a label we all share.
In the messy, magical middle — the human space — we meet as equals.
We listen, we learn, we get it wrong, and then we get it better.
Together, as one.
A Journey to Flip The Narrative
Real Talk. Real Training. Real Transformation.
Elly invites audiences in with curiosity, to start with this simple idea: be human first.
Focusing on the why — why every person deserves space, no matter their labels or differences.
And then the how because Inclusion isn’t about policy — it’s about how we choose to see, value, and make space for every human.
