A new episode of The Digital Accessibility Podcast featuring Emily Rose Yates, Head of Accessibility at Mima. We discuss Emily's own lived experience as a wheelchair user and her own journey into the world of Accessibility. Emily has utilised her own day-to-day experience throughout her life to encourage positive change through the work she is currently doing to support the growth and innovation of companies and public sector bodies through the adoption of Accessibility/Accessible practices.

We chat about the thin line between physical, social and digital accessibility, imposter syndrome and how to discuss Disabilities without an air of awkwardness, how to ensure people with disabilities are comfortable and welcomed within the interview process and what we should do to continually raise awareness within the field of Accessibility in general!
