Our guest for Episode 6 of The #InclusionHubPodcast is Rej Proulx. Along with being host Samuel's father—he spent more than 3 decades at @IBM developing mainframe programs for some of Canada’s largest banks & premiering a11y solutions to enable blind people to become programmers.
As you’ll learn, Rej’s journey was riddled with potential roadblocks that he eventually overcame through determination and a personal apathy towards failure.
“Your mission is your manifesto, right,” she continues. In an ideal world, “where everything is happening the way that it should, this is your North Star. This is what we're here to do. This is who we're here to be. This is what we're always reaching and striving for.”
#InclusionHub, in partnership with @SalesforceA11y sat down with Camille Simone Edwards, a DEI educator, to discuss effective strategies organizations can adopt when establishing a #DEIB plan.

🧵Throughout the course of The #InclusionHubPodcast, we’ve heard from experts within the disability community talk about the importance of expanding disability rights and adopting inclusive practices to ensure access to the digital world for all users.
