In this episode I spoke with Danise Olague. A former teacher, Danise describes her motivations to pursue education, and how she sees it intersect with activism and ethnic studies. We also talk about her gradual transition from the teaching world to her current role as an accessibility specialist and advocate — including how being diagnosed with a disability influenced her perspective on the potential for technology and design to be a positive force for inclusion and social change. Lastly Danise explains what “growth mindset” means to her, and how mindfulness and play shape her ongoing learning as a mother and person today.
