In honor of #SuperhumanDay, DIA recognizes our very own Ms. Chandra Smith! Ms. Smith, an IT accessibility officer, is the Vice President of DIA’s Blacks in Government chapter, and was recently crowned Ms. Wheelchair America 2024! Ms. Smith is a triple amputee ─ and a stroke & sepsis survivor ─ who acquired a disability just three years ago. She faced a 1% chance of survival and beat the odds. After a year in the hospital, she returned to work, where she advocated for the 64+ million Americans with disabilities and organized DIA’s inaugural IT accessibility symposium. “I have learned that resilience can turn adversity into opportunity. I am dedicated to creating a future where every voice, regardless of ability, is valued and empowered. Let’s unite to champion universal design in our workplaces, ensuring equal access and opportunity for all.”
