In this enlightening episode of EZ Conversations, I welcome a remarkable guest whose work has been dedicated to shattering stereotypes and advocating for a more inclusive world. Join me as I sit down with the inspiring Ruth Rathblott, a passionate advocate for disability inclusivity.
Ruth Rathblott, a disability rights activist and visionary leader, opens up about her personal journey with disability and how it has fueled her unwavering commitment to challenging societal norms. Ruth delves into her experiences with grace and resilience, discussing the obstacles she has faced and the misconceptions she has shattered.
Tune in to hear Ruth Rathblott's profound insights on disability inclusivity, the importance of authentic representation, and the urgent need for change in the DEI landscape. Discover how she is leveraging her unique perspective to drive conversations that challenge the status quo and demand a more inclusive and equitable future.
Through candid and thought-provoking discussions, I, with Ruth explore the critical intersection of disability advocacy and DEI initiatives. We dissect why the current DEI framework may fall short and provide powerful insights into how it can be reimagined to serve marginalized communities better.
This episode promises to be a compelling journey into disability activism, the persisting challenges, and the narrative around inclusivity. Join us as we uncover the stories, strategies, and ideas shaping a shift toward inclusivity. Personally, I am not a big fan of the metrics used in organizations to achieve diversity and inclusivity; I did bring that to attention during the episode. However, there is more to explore in this space.
Take advantage of this thought-provoking conversation between me and Ruth Rathblott, and prepare to be inspired by Ruth's drive and resilience.
