QQ - should profile pics have alt text?
What is the value of knowing I’m a blonde middle aged white woman?

All thoughts welcome!

Sharing an observation that having just attended the two largest US events organized by blind consumers, and like-wise being blind myself, it was refreshing not to have session speakers describing themselves. #acb22#nfb22
