  1. Huge thanks to Luke and Jonathan who invited me to come talk geeky tech, and my book! Vision Forward is a great organization! Cory, you were missed!

    We got into AI with screen readers, why I built NVDA Coach, and 20 years of making music without sight.

    Full interview on Vision Forward's Tech Connect:

  2. Hey everyone! I want to let you know that the #LondonDrugs store in Rutherford Mall in #Nanaimo has an amazing #AntiAbleist #inclusive manager. My friend, Tessie, is a #DisabledEmployee there. The manager, Warren, went out of his way to help her feel supported at work. He made her a shirt & a sign for her workstation 👏

    If you're on #VancouverIsland in the Nanaimo area, please support this specific store. Please let them know that the public appreciates how they treat their disabled employees & thank Warren for being a stellar, inclusive & thoughtful store #manager 👍

  3. #AccessKit question. I'd like to recommend this to developers so they can make their projects more #accessible. I noticed there's no documentation. Is it easy enough to learn without the need for documentation? If not, I'm hesitant to recommend something that I know developers are going to struggle with. It's tough enough asking them to make their apps accessible when they don't know much about us, let alone asking them to learn a new library with no docs. #Accessibility #Blind #VisuallyImpaired
