If your Diversity, Equity and Inclusion efforts aren’t accessible, you’re excluding Disabled People. That is selective inclusion. That is creating inaccessible barriers. That is hollow words written in inaccessible ink. Let’s accelerate inclusive, accessible change together, transforming your branding/marketing, recruitment and workplace cultures.

Text reads, “When your inclusion isn't accessible you forget the "I" in DEI”. Below the words, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion appear, but each starting letter has been transformed into a character with hands and legs. Text continues, “Inclusion without accessibility is exclusion”. Below the D and E character are standing at one side of the plank weighing it down, and I is up in the air. The text concludes, “Don’t let your inclusion be hollow words written in inaccessible ink.” #DisabilityPrideMonth #ThursdayThoughts #Branding #DiversityEquityAndInclusion
