The one tip I love to remind content creators: Make sure to transcribe your podcasts!
#GAAD #DigitalAccessibility #a11y
Happy Global Accessibility Awareness Day! A day of talking, listening, and learning about the importance of #DigitalAccessibility around the world. What are some of your best accessibility tips for digital content and platforms?

As someone who works in community engagement, feeling major FOMO with all these @joinClubhouse chats going on. Never have I wanted to be on iOS so bad (legit started looking at iPhone prices the other day). Anyone else? 😭

Make no apologies for your ambitions.
Don't "tone it down" or make yourself small to make others feel more comfortable.
Just find others that share your drive & cheer you on.

Let's talk about #mentalhealth for a sec. ❤️
When I was going through intense burnout & depression years ago, the only thing that got me through was the mantra: 'the only way out is through.' Focusing on one small task each day was key & I built from there.
What helped you?

An employee came to me last week and asked to move to 80% time. Her husband, she said, was taking on some extra responsibility and they were having trouble keeping the kids on track during remote learning.
I said no.

HEY FRIENDS I NEED YOUR ADVICE
When you have a mountain of work to do, what's your best tip for keeping momentum going?

Last week I asked people to “submit your company landing page” and I’d rewrite it.
Well, we did it! I teamed up with Annie Maguire, one of the best copywriters in the business.
Hopefully, this gives you an insight into the mind of a pro copywriter.

such a powerful speech and message from @maayanziv today at @EffervescenceV. brb still crying 😭🤧
.@maayanziv on the people that saw her for herself, and not a medical diagnosis, that helped build her sense of confidence and worth, bringing her to where she is today.

ALT Graphic with a quote by Maayan: "It's not about 'fixing' me, because it’s not actually about me being broken, but about being creative and problem-solving to empower me as an individual to do more. It's not about comparing me to someone without a disability, but about meeting me where I am at each stage of my development."
Do you know any influential lifestyle accounts on #Instagram that went from a public to a private account?

I have a few different Instagram accounts and it seems the UI is literally different for each of them. (Creating a new post is a different method in each account for starters). Facebook just can’t help themselves. They insist on destroying the idea of user-friendly design.
Haven't had an anxiety attack for a while now and I'm wondering where this current episode is coming from...
Excited to connect with everyone on this community mixer hosted by Tech Disability Project! Reppin' team @AccessNowApp 💯

Hoy he salido a darme un paseo para estrenar mi nueva compañera de aventuras, la Ricoh GR III. Y no he podido volver más contenta a casa. Es increíble como una cámara tan compacta da tales resultados.

So true! Less about connecting but building relationships and fostering community that's already there.
A1. I think we need to focus more on the building relationships piece - we've become too obsessed with the "staying connected" and it can be overwhelming #StartupChats
PSA: It's a good day to cut off negative people in your life. Once you release that mental space you've been holding for them, abundance will start pouring in.
I shared this on my Facebook Stories and for some reason it's gotten 200+ views and several reactions. (My view count on ave. is 20-30.)
Browsing Youtube videos for #GooglePixel4A reviews and noticed it's mostly men taking up space. Well, I expected that but crazy that it's STILL like that...

Accessibility starts with the individual. It starts with you.
