Have you ever hesitated in interacting with someone with a disability because you didn’t want to say the wrong thing?
In the latest episode of Victim to Victory: Triumph Over Tragedy, Lawrence LeBrocq is joined by Brittany Déjean, founder of Inclusion Jumpstart, who walks us through the human side of inclusion - sharing how empathy and understanding can turn fear into action, and how personal connections can change the way we see ability and potential.
