Joshua Felder
Best Buddies International Global Ambassador/Dancer/Actor
Florida
Hello everyone! My name is Joshua Felder aka Swagman Felder. I’m a Best Buddies Global Ambassador coming from Tampa, Florida. I’ve been Involved with this nonprofit since middle school, and it’s helped me break out of my shell, & discover my hidden talents. I’ve won the Best Buddies Spirit of Courage award in 2020, I became the first known person with autism to dance in the SuperBowl Halftime Show with The Weeknd in 2021, I won the Excellence in Leadership Award at the Mothers Day event in 2022, I was recently in a big movie called “Champions” alongside Woody Harrelson in 2023, and that same here, I became the first Global Ambassador to have my own clothing collaboration with the Best Buddies Shop. This program as taught me to not just advocate for myself, but for others with or without IDD. My motto is “Inclusion is the New Swag, and my Autism is my Superpower”
