Description

I have a very special guest with me, Prasanna Ranganathan. He is a human rights lawyer, diversity, equity, and inclusion practitioner, accessibility advisor, documentary filmmaker, and author. And I'm not sure if you are aware of this or not, but October, It's National Disability Employment Awareness Month. And on today's episode, Prasanna talks to us all about disability rights, disclosing your disability, and steps to improving disability inclusion and belonging. 
Prasanna (he/him) is a documentary producer, human rights lawyer, diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB) consultant, accessibility advisor, speaker, writer, and arts correspondent. Prasanna leads his own DEIB consultancy Prasanna Ranganathan Consulting and previously served as the Head of Diversity and Belonging at Shopify and as a human rights lawyer with the Government of Canada, the United Nations, the Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission, and the Independent Street Checks Review. Prasanna is a Consulting Producer on the 2021 docuseries Born for Business about entrepreneurs with disabilities (NBC Peacock, Crave) and a seasoned speaker on DEIB and disability, having spoken at Chronicon and having served as a Guest Lecturer at the University of Southern California Annenberg Inclusion Initiative on inclusive storytelling. Proudly claiming his identity as a racialized, LGBTQ2+ person with a disability (blindness), Prasanna is a board member of the Disability Screen Office and a past board member of Inside Out Film Festival (the largest LGBTQ+ film festival in Canada).
