So glad to join such an important conversation hosted by @BCIU alongside #SpecialAdvisorDisability Minkara. Technology can be used to enhance our world, remove barriers, and increase accessibility for all.
#SpecialAdvisorDisability Minkara joined a @BCIU event on inclusive tech with @STASatState. Technology can either remove or reinforce barriers to inclusion. Let’s remove barriers by creating pathways for persons with disabilities to be leaders in responsible tech governance.
