Sharing the seventh article of my series, "Humanizing AI": "Love, Disability, and the Evolution of Commitment" #AI #WeAreBillionStrong #AXSChat #Disability www.linkedin.com/pulse/love-d...

'True inclusion means creating a workplace where people with disabilities feel safe to disclose, to be seen, and to ask for what they need. But it’s not just on us to step forward—it’s on employers to prove they’re worth our trust, with actions that match their words.' #WeAreBillionStrong #AXSChat

‘I don’t see disability’ sounds kind, but it erases us. It means you don’t see the barriers we face, the adjustments we need, or the reality of ableism. Inclusion isn’t pretending we’re the same—it’s seeing us fully and acting on it. #WeAreBillionStrong #AXSChat

"Ableism looks like calling people 'inspiring' for navigating a system that is designed for exclusion, while doing nothing to hold the system accountable." - Carson Tueller #Ableism #Disability #DisabilityInclusion #WeAreBillionStrong #Equity #AXSChat

I can’t have ADHD—I’m not bouncing off the walls.” I’ve heard that line more times than I can count. But here’s the thing: ADHD doesn’t always look like what you’ve been told. Hyperactivity isn’t just running around. Sometimes, it’s running thoughts—nonstop. #ADHD #WeAreBillionStrong #AXSChat

“Every time we remove a barrier for people with disabilities, we find that it was holding others back too. Inclusion has a way of lifting everyone up.” #Disability #WeAreBillionStrong #AXSChat #Neurodiversity

'Persons with disabilities are expected to stay 'quiet,' not be 'sensitive,' not take things 'seriously,' not 'panic,'to just 'ignore' and just let things go.We are told not to 'overthink,' not to 'make a fuss' by calling out Ableism, exclusion, and inaccessibility."- @puneetsiinghal.bsky.social

What makes this campaign powerful is not what it explains, but what it reveals. 🎥 Credit: “The world is harder when it wasn’t designed for you” Created by the Vozes da Inclusão Institute, dedicated to accessibility and inclusion. Shared by @theadnetwork

Accessibility is not an extra step. It's the steps many MISSED.

“Progress happens when we slow down enough to ask the right questions, and brave enough to act together.” #WeAreBillionStrong #AI4Good #AIInclusion #AXSChat #HumanCenteredAI

I am resharing this amazing effort by CoorDown, "NO DECISION WITHOUT US" From everyday personal choices to being involved in writing laws and policies, people with disabilities demand a seat at the table where the decisions are made. #WeAreBillionStrong #AXSChat #NoDecisionWithoutUs

What we call ‘clumsiness’ is often a mismatch between human bodies and environments not designed for neurodivergent ways of moving. #WeAreBillionStrong #ADHD #AI4Good #AXSChat #RuhGlobal #Disability

“Trust and transparency are everything. Tech adoption grows when people feel safe — especially communities often left out." medium.com/p/248d702... #MondayBlogs featuring @akwyz.com @neilmilliken.bsky.social @debraruh.bsky.social @heykarthik.bsky.social

If your employees with disabilities are too afraid to ask for reasonable accommodations/access and go silent. It’s a glaring sign: leadership doesn’t care, and your organization is a breeding ground for toxicity. Your Culture is broken. #WeAreBillionStrong #SDGs #Inclusion #Disability #Culture

This cartoon says more in silence than most corporate diversity statements say in a thousand words. Look at it closely—men, same suits, same shapes, same blank expressions. The one in the middle proclaims loudly: “Remember gentlemen, we believe in inclusion!!!!” #Inclusion #WeAreBillionStrong

"Why are your needs “human” and our needs “special?” Ableism." - Gregory Mansfield #WeAreBillionStrong #AXSChat #Ableism #Euphemism #Disability #SpecialNeeds #UnconsciousBias

Chris Ruden is absolutely accurate in his analysis through this graphic. #WeAreBillionStrong #AXSChat #Access #SDGs #Equity

"They call it courage when disabled people climb walls never meant to exist. True justice isn’t in applause—it’s in dismantling the walls altogether." #WeAreBillionStrong #Ableism #DisabilityRights #DisabilityInclusion #SDGs #HumanRights #AXSChat

Our next talk is Jonathan Zong, with Accessible Data Visualization for Screen Reader Users. #id24 #accessibility #InclusiveDesign youtube.com/live/JBxxvZ6...

Curling up with a good book this weekend? If you're using a Kindle, look for improved #accessibility features that make reading easier and more enjoyable for folks who are #blind and #VisuallyImpaired. 📚 #BlindNewWorld (Story via Good eReader ⬇️)

New video on our Enhanced Audio Description (EAD) methods is now available. A brief introduction to the ethos behind our work, with some lovely contributions from Project Advisory Board member Warren Wilson and 'Visible Mending' director Samantha Moore #Accessibility vimeo.com/1122160731?s...

In 2025, sixteen-year-old Mae placed in the top 50 out of Braille Challenge participants worldwide. But just four years ago, they couldn't read. A Cerebral/Cortical Visual Impairment (CVI) diagnosis and braille changed everything. Read Mae's story in our latest blog post: bit.ly/46GjTn3

A transcript is the only way to make video or audio content accessible to someone who is both deaf and blind. Transcripts can be converted into braille, to be read on a refreshable braille output device.

Just released! I had an insightful conversation with @debraruh.bsky.social & Marc Haunschild on #AXSChat. We discussed: -The impact of the European Accessibility Act -AI & accessibility misconceptions -Collaboration for digital inclusion Listen here: www.buzzsprout.com/719037/episo...

I protested and fought for women's rights when I was a teenager, and now I have to do it again as a grandmother. They know how we feel. ⬇️

"Mental health is health, period. You wouldn't tell someone to 'walk it off' the day after surgery; so don't tell someone to 'get over it' when they're battling anxiety or depression. They need time, support, and sometimes professional help to heal." #MentalHealth #Depression #WeAreBillionStrong
