About tenRhu


The name “tenRhu” is a smash up of two words: Tenacious (persisting to exist) and Rhubarb (a tart and beautiful vegetable that is often turned into deliciously sweet delights). Our mission is to help you assess, work through and address your inaccessibility issues and come through it as a better and brighter asset to your community.

Born with a rare eye disease, Nikki became legally blind at the age of 10 and was quickly immersed in the social justice world. By 5th grade, she found herself speaking to state legislators to advocate for her right to receive accommodations and remain in mainstream school. She has received many awards and accolades for her time spent on multiple accessibility advisory boards at institutions of higher learning. With a bachelors degree in Food and Nutrition, she has a strong passion for supporting local agriculture and independent business owners. Her goal is to be a positive disruptor in any arena she is invited into and to help your company take strides in becoming inclusive to the disabled community. As an accessibility advocate, Nikki believes that when you know better, you will do better.

In the background, there is a slide show of people with different disabilities. First, a white hand reading a Braille display under a black keyboard. Next, a young white, red headed woman wearing a bright orange shirt, writing computer code on multiple screens while wearing white headphones. She is in a wheelchair. Next, a black teenager wearing a purple shirt has a conversation in sign language. Lastly, someone with their arm in a cast and a sling is using a smart phone one handed.
