Part 158- The Anti-Ableism Series - be a better ally to disabled people

Day 158

Ask everyone what their access needs and workplace adjustments are. Feeling like I have to ask for permission just to show up is a type of microaggression.

Video description/transcript: Tiffany is a Taiwanese American woman speaking to the screen. “Do you want to be a better ally to disabled people? Amplifying this tweet from El Gibbs (@ bluntshovels). “Instead of asking only disabled people to disclose their disabilities when it might not be safe to do so, why don’t employers ask everyone what their access needs and workplace adjustments are. Normalize that everyone needs flexibility and the tools to do their job.”

Normalize shutting the F*%k up. Everyone feels important by grand standing.
