Dr. Amy Kenny (she/her) is a disabled scholar-practitioner, writer, and advocate, and serves as the inaugural director of the Disability Cultural Center. Her work on disability has been featured in Teen Vogue, Huff Post, The Mighty, Sojourners, and Shondaland. Kenny’s award-winning book, My Body is Not A Prayer Request, mixes humor, personal narrative, and theology to invite faith communities to rethink their ableism and learn from the embodied wisdom of disabled people. 

In addition to her academic work, Kenny has served on the Mayor’s Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Task Force and as a facilitator for Freedom Road Institute for Leadership and Justice. While co-leading a mutual aid group supporting neighbors experiencing homelessness for several years, she co-founded Jubilee Homes OC, a permanent supportive housing initiative in her community. 

Originally from Brisbane, Australia, she is at home in the water, where she’d always rather be.
