Here we go with a really big and brave conversation. I brought together some incredible entrepreneurs and accessibility advocates to dig into what true accessibility in business actually looks like. Honestly, when you hear about the diversity of accessibility needs, it can feel overwhelming and expensive—it's tempting to just keep doing what you've always done. But this roundtable pushes us to think about accessibility completely differently, and these guests share practical ways that all businesses, no matter the size, can do better without starting from scratch.

Meet Today's Speakers:

Erin Perkins is deafblind, but you might not notice at first glance. She relies on a hearing aid and cochlear implant for hearing, without which she's profoundly deaf. Her vision is limited to 50 degrees, so if she doesn't wave back when you do, it's likely she didn't see or hear you. Working with independent business owners, coaches, and mentors opened her eyes to the widespread lack of accessibility awareness. This led her to focus on accessibility education. Erin is passionate about teaching businesses to be more accessible, using her personal experiences to promote true inclusion at every level. Her mission is to make the world more accessible, one business at a time.
