Bring a voice that inspires change.
Book Katherine Gyolai — founder of Find Love Safely, TEDx speaker, certified coach, and passionate advocate for the disability community — for your next event. Her talks challenge stigma, spark inclusion, and leave audiences with practical tools they can use the next day.
Hi, I’m Katherine.
I’m a mom and stepmom to eight amazing young adults, four of whom have intellectual or developmental disabilities. Like so many of us, they dream of love, connection, and belonging. But when my son asked to join a dating app, I realized just how unsafe and unwelcoming the current system is for people like him.
That moment changed everything. I created Find Love Safely to offer a better way, rooted in safety, compassion, and real human connection.
Now, I speak to audiences across the country about what it means to build a more inclusive world — one where love, friendship, and dignity aren’t out of reach for anyone.
If you’re looking for a speaker who brings heart, purpose, and practical insight to every stage, I’d love to be part of your event.
Talks that move rooms — and move people to act.
Every talk is tailored to your audience. Below are the themes Katherine is most often invited to speak on.
Love, Dignity & Disability
Why every adult — regardless of ability — deserves the chance at safe, meaningful connection, and what it takes as a society to make that real.
Building from a Mother’s Question
The personal story behind Find Love Safely, and what founders, caregivers, and changemakers can learn from building a category that didn’t exist.
Inclusion in Practice
Practical, actionable strategies for organizations, schools, and service providers ready to move beyond awareness and into true belonging.
Safety, Scams & the Online World
What every parent, caregiver, and provider needs to know about online risk for adults with IDD, and how to build protective skills without taking away independence.
A speaker who connects, the moment she walks on stage.
Katherine was an absolute highlight at our DDS PossABLE Statewide Training. Her passion for equality in love and relationships — regardless of ability — resonated deeply with our audience.
