Kello Inclusive is a talent agency exclusively representing disabled and visibly different talent; because the beauty of disabilities, diversities, and differences deserves to be represented fairly and fully.
How it all began: A couple of years ago, after getting their disabled daughter Kelty involved in modelling, her parents, Katie and Austin, quickly discovered how unaccustomed the fashion & marketing world was to working with kids like Kelty and how rare it was to see fair, tasteful, and professional representation of people with disabilities. Recognizing the importance of growing up in a world where the beauty of disability is represented and portrayed accurately, they have started Canada's first inclusive talent agency - Kello Inclusive - that exclusively represents/promotes/advocates for disabled talent. Kello's mission is two-fold: 1) to ensure brands and companies realize how important it is to include disabled talent in their marketing material, and 2) to allow disabled people to feel like modelling is a viable, sought-after, and important career path. Kello has worked with a growing list of inclusive brands in both Edmonton and Vancouver (Explore Alberta, Elections Alberta, Vessi, Emmy Deveaux, Kind Ice Cream, Track n' Trail, The Skinny and more) and have plans to keep growing nationally.

We acknowledge that what we call Alberta is the traditional and ancestral territory of many peoples, presently subject to Treaties 6, 7, and 8. Namely: the Blackfoot Confederacy – Kainai, Piikani, and Siksika – the Cree, Dene, Saulteaux, Nakota Sioux, Stoney Nakoda, and the Tsuu T’ina Nation and the Métis People of Alberta. This includes the Métis Settlements and the Six Regions of the Métis Nation of Alberta within the historical Northwest Metis Homeland. We acknowledge the many First Nations, Métis and Inuit who have lived in and cared for these lands for generations. We are grateful for the traditional Knowledge Keepers and Elders who are still with us today and those who have gone before us. We make this acknowledgement as an act of reconciliation and gratitude to those whose territory we reside on or are visiting.
