A11y Conference: Impact Beyond Inspiration (Part 3) [CC]

Adriana, Mariella, AJ, and Stephanie offer some real talk about how the disability advocacy community needs more spaces for sharing experiences and solutions. The reality of living with a disability does and should involve conversations about travel, healthcare, parenting, sexuality, taking action, and more! This is part 3 of 3.

[Image Description: Four smiling people are LOL-ing. On the far left is Mariella, a Hispanic woman with long dark hair wearing a white collared t-shirt. Next is Adriana, a White woman with short brown hair wearing a bright yellow t-shirt sitting in a power WC. Next is AJ, an African-American man wearing headphones and an olive green polo shirt sitting in a power WC. And on the far right is Dr. Stephanie, a Vietnamese woman with long dark hair wearing a yellow and beige blouse. In the upper center frame, text reads “Impact Beyond Inspiration (part 3)” and “A11y Conference: A conference for and by people with disabilities". The background is the same light blue as the "11" in the A11y conference logo.]
