Beth Deer previews Lil E Café

A man, wearing a surgical mask, holds a small girl in her arms.

By Beth Deer

If you are in a bad mood and looking for something to make you smile, this is the story for you. I say this because the interview I had with one of the participants, Darby, really changed my mood. 

In next week's episode of AMI This Week, we talk to Paul Constance about the life-changing business he opened up in downtown Calgary called Lil E Café. The venture was inspired by his three-year-old daughter Ella, who has Down syndrome. 

When Paul realized there were very few job opportunities for those with learning disabilities, he knew he had to something about it. And do something he did. The café’s aim is to launch 10,000 careers and help share an accessible business model with any employer who wants to be more inclusive. 

This story really pulled on my heartstrings and I can’t wait for it to do the same for you. I have no doubt that you’ll watch it and smile.

Tune in to Monday’s new episode of AMI This Week, at 8 p.m. Eastern, to learn more.
