Luda is founder and owner of INCLUDAS Publishing, an idea that was seeded back in 2013, but ended up being so much more. Once a recreation-inclusive business turned into  an entertainment inclusive business, this journey finally landed into the publishing industry. It all began many years ago when Luda was born with muscular dystrophy, a neuromuscular disease that deteriorates muscles over time. Since age nine, she has been using a wheelchair, blazing along to make her own accessible path in life. From serving on a national diversity committee for collegiate recreation to working with Google to help test different accessibility measures, Luda knows that the fight for inclusion is far from over.

A passion for the entertainment industry since middle school, Luda took her dreams of the red carpet all the way to college, where she used a simple assignment and turned it into a dream—she wrote a paper on the Oscars, and got a special tour of the event in Los Angeles. A fighter at heart, she never gave up on getting an internship with Universal Studios Hollywood and the GRAMMY museum. But the biggest reward is having freedom to create her own fiction, build limitless worlds that only come in dreams, and strive to one day take a story to the big screen.
