It’s Disability Pride Month and what doesn’t get talked about enough is accessible content. For people who are deaf, hard-of-hearing, blind, or low vision, there are some simple ways to create a more inclusive and accessible environment.

However, not all disabilities are visible, so it is important to listen to all disabled people from across the spectrum. ⁣

Our 6 Tips 👇🏻⁣
⁣
1. ADD ALT TEXT: ⁣
This text is a physical description of an image for search engines and screen readers.
⁣
2. INSERT CAPTIONS:⁣
Captions are text that transcribe or give context to the auditory part of a video.
⁣
3. USE CAMEL CASE:⁣
This is the practice of capitalizing the first letter of each word in a phrase without spaces, such as a hashtag, to make each word clear. For example: DisabilityPrideMonth is better than disabilitypridemonth.⁣
⁣
4. BE STRATEGIC WITH EMOJIS:⁣
Although it is common to use emojis as bullet points, they can actually be confusing to screen readers. Move them to the end.
⁣
5. USE HIGH CONTRASTING COLOURS⁣
For visuals, high contrasting colours make it easier for users with colour vision deficiency to read the information. Readability beats out aesthetics in this case! Keep in mind, though, that too much contrast is also unpleasant for some people.⁣
⁣
6. BE INCLUSIVE WITH VISUALS⁣
Visuals containing authentic disabled people help normalize disabilities and foster a more inclusive community. Leaving out disabled people from images excludes over 15% of the world’s population! ⁣

Wednesdays have been dubbed “Women Crush Wednesday” on social media, and we got to admit...we've been crushing hard on women bosses! 😍

The numbers don’t lie.

When women lead, organizations experience 1.4x more profitable growth. 🥳

We are proud of our team and our leadership who strive for inclusivity and diversity across the board.

We don’t add diversity, however, because of the benefits.
➡️ Diversity is necessary to broaden our worldviews and create culturally-sensitivity content.
➡️ Diversity is necessary due to systematic barriers that try to prevent certain people from reaching the top.

So today, let’s celebrate boss women. 🥳 Share this post on your story and tag some amazing girl bosses.

Do you work remotely?

If you do, chances are you’re tired of Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, or whatever other video conferencing program your company uses. As much as it’s great to see faces, it can be exhausting.

Our homes are vulnerable places and not all of them are equipped with separate offices to draw a line between work and relaxation. You might want to save some of these tips to save yourself from Zoom Fatigue.
