Paula Carozzo

Cerebral Palsy

Disability activist, content creator, model, and speaker, Paula Carozzo has cultivated and created a space to redefine disability.

At the age of five, Paula was diagnosed with cerebral palsy after an anoxic episode from a surgery. After many oppressive experiences from being disabled, Paula decided to create an extension of her life on social media. As a disability activist, Paula shares her story on what it’s like to live with a disability by amplifying the voices of her community to share their laughs, struggles, and adventures from living with a disability.

With an online audience of over 100,000 followers, Carozzo is recognized as a spokesperson for disability, wellness, accessibility, universal design, community impact, wellness, and lifestyle. Paula has worked with some of the most notable corporate clients and brands worldwide, including Google, Maybelline, and Tommy Hilfiger. Paula also recently became a Victoria’s Secret model to showcase PINK’s new adaptive line for disabled people. Carozzo’s work has been featured in publications such as VOGUE, Refinery 29, HELLO!, and on Telemundo.

Paula resides in Miami and strives to leave her inclusive footprint by creating equitable change in the community with her two pups, Luna and Kaia.
