This is my blog on human rights, disability inclusion and accessibility. It is critical that everyone is allowed to fully participate in society. If ONE person is left out we risk losing something amazing plus we create a larger digital divide. Everyone has something to contribute to society - we need to allow all voices to be heard. My passion is to assure that people with disabilities are included in every aspect of society. I am also proud to be a baby boomer and hope that I can provide an inclusive voice for my generation.
Greetings from #Geneva. We had an amazing day at the @ILO #GBDN2019 event discussing #disabilityinclusion. @huawei gave an amazing presentation on #TECH4GOOD. #enable2work #GBDN (at International Labour Organization) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5JMi0GFysm/?igshid=8z9532l0glku
