Embark on an enlightening journey with us as we join forces with Debra Ruh, a trailblazer in the disability and accessibility sectors, to dissect the nuances of community building and the art of maintaining diplomatic ties. We promise valuable insights into the strategies that will unite a diverse array of voices and experiences to champion impactful change. Delving into the challenges of advocacy, we lay bare the harsh realities of job insecurity and funding scarcities that threaten initiatives like Billions Strong, while also showcasing the resilience needed to sustain momentum and foster accountability without sparking conflict. 

This episode is a celebration of collaborative spirit and the shared quest for disability inclusion. We analyze the precarious balance between survival and solidarity within organizations, challenging corporate brands and business entities to redefine their roles in this narrative. There's also an optimistic look forward to the power of inclusive events, where individuals with disabilities lead the charge in shaping conversations about their needs. So, join us and Debra as we navigate the complexities of today's accessibility landscape, shedding light on the obstacles, triumphs, and the undying hope for a more inclusive tomorrow.
