Episode notes

The legal part of accessibility is like my least favorite part of it. It's the thing that I dislike probably the most, but it unfortunately seems to be kind of necessary. So many people just still feel like as something where maybe it hasn't touched them in their lives. And they don't realize that like it's everybody. By the time we get to 70-ish years old, it's 50% of us. People kind of just haven't really woken up to the fact that that's a thing. But there's been a lot of strides, definitely positive movement.

I had the great honor of being invited back to An Event Apart Denver (2019) to record a live podcast episode with Mina Markham, Farai Madzima, & Derek Featherstone on the important topics of Accessibility, Design Inclusion & Ethics, Hiring & Retaining Diverse Talent and Landing a Job in UX. Amazingly, we were able to cover all of this in just under an hour!
