Accessibility Creates Inclusive and Diverse Cultures
It took me experiencing things first-hand to truly understand and appreciate the hardships that must be navigated with each day, with each interaction, with each footstep for those with disabilities. #DisabilityPrideMonth is about honoring disability as a natural and beautiful part of human #diversity but living with a disability hardly feels like a celebration most times. I wanted to share the things that I’m doing at work and at home to break down artificial barriers that discriminate. My hope is that through this I can inspire others to also help build an accessible and inclusive world to be enjoyed by all.
