In conversation with Glenda Sims, Alice will share her journey as a self-described disabled oracle and cyborg, offering unique perspectives on combating ableism and reimagining disability as a source of joy.

Through engaging storytelling and actionable insights, Alice will discuss the importance of shifting perceptions of accessibility from being a burden to an act of love. She’ll unpack common misconceptions and highlight strategies for building communities that thrive on collaboration and advocacy.

This session is a must-attend for digital accessibility advocates, designers, developers, and leaders seeking to deepen their understanding of allyship and transform how we approach accessibility challenges.
