Ep 135: Accessibility Change Agent with Heather Dowdy

March 04, 2021

I'm guilty of it.

You probably are too.

When #Linkedin or any of these social media platforms prompts you for a description of the photo you're posting or prompts you for a caption file, I've breezed right past it.

Sure, you may have your pronouns on your profile. You may have even posted something in solidarity with the #BLM movement last year... but how are you addressing accessibility in your personal realm?

What if I told you that 70% of you have invisible disabilities? And that ALL of us will be considered a part of the community at some point in our lives?

My guest this afternoon is a champion for change in the space. In fact, she is working for one of tech's Big Five to get it done with #AI. You want to hear from Heather Dowdy. She is walking out her mission...

...and it all started when she was 6 months old when she asked for pizza from her two deaf parents.

We talk about it all, even #BASL or Black American Sign Language. Didn't know it was a thing?
We put swag on everything, and have been for years.

This is probably one of the most meaningful, intriguing and cutting edge episodes of The Culture Soup Podcast®.
