Today's episode is in collaboration with our partners at Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Discovery Center. You can check out their article about our guest, Elizabeth Ralston on their website. Elizabeth is an Independent Accessibility Consultant and the founder of the Seattle Cultural Accessibility Consortium.

In this episode, Frank and Elizabeth discuss their own lived experience with hearing disabilities, coping with internal ableism, and how the lack of accessibility is an obstacle to building belonging. Listen as Elizabeth tells listeners about how she became involved in this work, how to think about building accessible spaces, and how to foster belonging for all.

If you're interested in Elizabeth's work as an independent consultant you can reach her at her website at http://www.elizabethralston.com/.
