Disability Advocate
Brandon Parkes, known online as Professor Parkes, is a content creator, disability advocate, and community builder dedicated to amplifying disabled voices in gaming and social spaces. After becoming paralyzed at 25 from transverse myelitis, Parkes turned to content creation as a way to share his experiences, challenge misconceptions about disability, and foster connection through honesty and relatability.
His platforms blend advocacy, storytelling, and humor — using laughter as a bridge to start real conversations about accessibility, resilience, and life after spinal cord injury. Through his growing online presence and his Twitch community, The Elite Class, Parkes continues to redefine what representation looks like for disabled creators in the gaming world and beyond
