Lauren Pires

Inspirational Speaker and Invisible Disability Ambassador in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada

Yay, you're here!

I'm Lauren - an award-winning inspirational speaker on resilience, joy & owning who you are, Invisible Disabilities Association Ambassador and 2024 D-30 Disability Impact List by Diversability honoree.

Born with Central Core Disease, a rare neuromuscular disorder, I have about 33% strength of the average person, but I'm known for my yay-saying and 100% spirit.

In November 2023 I competed in the Speaker Slam Grand Slam, the yearly finale of North America's largest inspirational speaking competition, where I won the title of #2 Inspirational Speaker of the Year.

I've been featured on CityNews Toronto, RareDiseaseDay.org, Breakfast Television and more.
