MEET SARA
After dedicating over two decades to cultivating a thriving career and establishing myself as a recognised authority in my industry, I found myself at the height of my professional journey, relishing a life of comfort while exploring the globe with the freedom to pursue my passions at my own pace.
In my formative years, I had little to no interaction with individuals with disabilities; they simply weren’t part of my environment, whether in school or at work. To say I was unaware of the challenges faced by disabled individuals would be an understatement. I never anticipated that I would be affected, either directly or indirectly. Honestly, it never crossed my mind, primarily because it didn’t touch my life.
However, looking back now, I truly believe that everything unfolds for a purpose. I am committed to shedding light on the unjust struggles of people with disabilities and striving to change perceptions, ultimately creating a future where EVERYONE feels cherished, respected, and included.
Become part of the WAB® movement and let’s embrace the diverse beauty of individuals in every shape and form, in a world where “We All Belong.”

Sara shares deeply personal stories, reminding us that inclusion is more than a buzzword—it’s about real kids with real stories. They discuss the power of representation, the tough yet enlightening path of advocacy, and the irreplaceable value of inclusive environments for children, particularly in the realms of education and play.
Sara’s passion extends beyond books to a vision of inclusive consumer goods, all spearheaded by her unwavering belief: We All Belong.

Sara Momtaz remembers the moment the fire was lit in her belly and set her on course for a nationwide campaign. The corporate asset manager turned children’s book writer was watching a brother and sister playing happily together in park in Paddington Rec, as another sibling in a wheelchair watched-on in envy.
The 46-year-old, who is back living in Maida Vale in the area she grew up in, has a three-year-old daughter diagnosed with Down’s syndrome which, combined with related medical conditions, prevents her from using traditional playground equipment like swings, slides and seesaws.
But not only has she realised disabled children were being routinely excluded from playing with their peers, up and down the country, she has actually done something about it. “It’s through this campaign that I realised how big the problem was – there is nothing out there, inclusive playgrounds for all children to play together literally do not exist.

‘When was the last time you saw a child in a wheelchair in a park playground?’
