Description
When workplaces are inclusive for all people, everyone wins. It was recently the 75th anniversary of National Disability Employment Awareness Month, which celebrates workers with disabilities and highlights the importance of inclusive hiring practices. It has also been 30 years since the passing of the Americans with Disabilities Act, the civil rights legislation that prohibits discrimination for people with disabilities.
Consciously Unbiased founder Ashish Kaushal spoke to Zakiya Mabery, CEO of B. Global Diversity & Inclusion Strategic Planning and author of The Complete Guide to Diversity and Inclusion in the age of Covid-19, for an unplugged conversation about how Zakiya has been impacted by intersectionality as a Black woman with multiple disabilities. They also discussed why you have to be your own best advocate and never let anyone tell you that you can’t do something, what companies can do to better support employees with disabilities, and much more.
