Happy Women's Equality Day! August 26 is a national day commemorating the certification of the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution. This amendment, passed in 1920, granted women* the right to vote. That legislation was the culmination of nearly a century-long movement for women's rights. Women's Equality Day celebrates the wins of the past and the continued efforts toward improving our futures. *While some women were granted the right to vote with the 19th Amendment, many others were still denied representation in politics based on their race.

Thank you to Women of Color in Engineering Collaborative for inviting me to speak and to Danielle Lindblom for your words and thoughtful reflections. It means a lot to hear that the presentation resonated with you. Messages and posts like this reassure me that the time and effort dedicated to this work are indeed making a difference. Your commitment to web accessibility as a developer and your passion for enhancing diversity and inclusion in the tech creation space is inspiring and needed. The voices and experiences of disabled people must be authentically represented within STEM fields. 

Amazing accessibility webinar today hosted by Women of Color in Engineering Collaborative: Critical Accessibility Theory. Speaker Crystal Preston-Watson brought so much nuanced information and immediately actionable suggestions for both organizations and job-seekers. The tenant that stood out to me the most was: "The experiences of disabled people with technology are often told by those outside the community and filtered and changed to better fit popular narratives, leading to solutions that aren't needed or undesired." ^^ That is a big reason why I want to specialize in web accessibility as a frontend developer. We need to increase the amount of diversity on the creation side of things to more closely match the level of diversity of users. I want to be a part of that, as a woman and as a person with disabilities. We still have a long ways to go when it comes to removing unconscious (and conscious) bias towards people with disabilities in the hiring process and creating more safety for them to apply and interview. There is a wealth of talent here. I'm really passionate about this subject and very open to having discussions online and offline. Grateful to the host and the speaker for making this event possible and delivering such valuable content 💜 #diversityintech #accessibility #ADAanniversary

See you soon!
