Celebrating #NationalDisabilityIndependenceDay today! 🎉 The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities in many areas of public life. Creating accessibility is a path to the "E" in DEI = equity. It's not complicated to be fair, but it does require conscious, deliberate, and strategic thinking. As an OD | DEI | HR practitioner, I find that using universal design concepts is one way of driving our world and workplaces to be fair and kind to all people. #equity #fairness #freedom #inclusion #consciousculture #universaldesign #humankindness
Today is #NationalDisabilityIndependenceDay—a commemoration of the day the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed. The signing of the ADA was hard-fought by disabled activists and organizers who envisioned a better world. Today, this legacy continues through the framework of Disability Justice!

We are not disabled by our disabilities; we are disabled by the barriers society puts in our way. It’s not our bodies or minds that hold us back—it’s the attitudes, structures, and stereotypes that do. It’s time to break down these barriers and redefine what disability means. Watch this video, and let’s change the narrative together. #BreakTheBarriers
