LIZZIE: There shouldn’t be another barrier for us. Digital space is a hugeeee thing nowadays, and it should be easy to include Deaf, DeafBlind, DeafDisabled, Hard of Hearing, and Late Deafened people. Technology nowadays is amazing, innovative, and adaptable. On Global Accessibility Awareness day, you can start now... how? I got you.

1. Educate yourself. Ask your followers how you can make your content more accessible. Participate in workshops, go to conferences, and more.

2. Make your content accessible! Some examples are alt text, captioning, image and video description, and transcription.

3. Advocate with us. When you see a post that isn't accessible, go ahead and comment and ask them to make it accessible with suggestions how they can improve their post.

Including us in digital space allows us to have a seat at the table, thrive, commit to being inclusive together, and most importantly -- connect.]
