I didn't think this was going to be how my talk at Clarity went down, but I'm super pumped at how awesome this remote conference is! Way to go Jina Anne and KickAss Conference! #clarity2020 (also it is super trippy to be watching my own talk ha!)

Finishing my thought: We do know people who need accessible products (they might even be us!), but we may not know who they are because able-ism is so prevalent in our society.

Similarly, people will tell me that I must have had such a hard childhood because my sister was disabled, that it wasn't a normal childhood. As though my sister couldn't possibly have brought any joy or light into my family's life. Normal is what you know.

It sure did. But if we’re going with SW theme, remember that 30 years later the New Republic was in shambles and another fascist dictatorship had taken over. We don’t live on Tatooine. The point is that our work towards a more perfect union is never over, we must always engage.
