Speaker Stories pt 1: Chloe Ball-Hopkins

The first of three special episodes where we introduce some of the speakers who’ll be taking to the stage at this year’s event on November 17th at Bristol Old Vic. We wanted to share their story and the inspiration behind their idea as well as giving you a behind the scenes look at the journey to that famous red circle for a TEDxBristol speaker.

Becky Walsh meets speaker Chloe Ball-Hopkins as well as finding out what makes an idea worth sharing on a TEDxBristol stage.

Chloe Ball-Hopkins is a freelance journalist, archery champion and a student. She’s also a wheelchair user on a mission to find out why such a large sector of society is still invisible to retailers.

Hear what inspired Chloe to take on the fashion industry and embark on a mission to create clothes that help people like her feel comfortable and fashionable, whether they are on feet or on wheels!
