For more than two decades, Blackstone Consulting Inc. (BCI) has proudly partnered with disability-led vendors—particularly blind and visually impaired teams—on contracts with state and federal agencies. These partnerships are more than contractual. They’re built on trust, shared goals, and a belief that talent and innovation come in many forms.
As we recognize Disability Pride Month, we’re reflecting on what these collaborations have taught us—not just about business, but about resilience, purpose, and what it truly means to lead with inclusion.
Bobbie Boggs, Director of Client Relations, has seen this impact firsthand. “Over the past 20 years, these partnerships have taught me the true meaning of collaboration,” she shares. “They’ve become long-standing connections rooted in mutual respect and genuine care.”
What stands out most, Boggs adds, is the adaptability and determination these partners bring to the table—qualities that consistently elevate the work and inspire everyone involved.
These relationships also reflect BCI’s core values. “BCI is what I often describe as the epitome of the United Nations—diverse, inclusive, and united in purpose. Our commitment to inclusion isn’t just an initiative. It’s embedded in who we are.”
To companies that haven’t yet worked with disability-owned or disability-staffed vendors: you’re missing out. Inclusive partnerships don’t just broaden perspective—they drive better outcomes.
This month and every month, we’re proud to stand alongside our disability-led partners—and to keep building a future where everyone has a seat at the table.
