Rethinking Disability:
What We Want the World to Understand
Wednesday, January 22, 2025 - 3:30pm - 5:00pm
You are invited to the kick-off webinar for the upcoming 5-day email challenge—Equity Challenge: Disability Awareness!
Wednesday, January 22, 2025
3:30pm - 5:00pm
During this webinar, you’ll hear from individuals living with a variety of disabilities — both visible and invisible. The moderators and panelists in this conversation will share their perspectives on what it’s like to navigate daily challenges in their work and personal lives, will share what they wish the world understood about the experience of living with disabilities, and will celebrate how their different abilities empower them and their achievements.
Challenge yourself to rethink what ‘disability’ means and how it impacts everyone in our daily lives and relationships.
