While I may be the first woman in this office, I will not be the last—because every little girl watching tonight sees that this is a country of possibilities.

Powerful stories and inspiring people at the Impact of Inclusion symposium this morning. Thank you for making it happen. @AshleighAxios @katholmes #AIGADesignConf

“If you want to talk about inclusion, open source should be at the top.” @Josh_A_Halstead in Impact of Inclusion at #AIGADesignConf

[Lauren Porter @PorPortPorter]

Incredible talk by @Josh_A_Halstead about shifting the disability paradigm; from a problem of the body, to a problem of the environment, to an identity to be honored. #AIGAdesignconf

[Lauren Porter @PorPortPorter]

Same! The Impact of Inclusion symposium was my main reason for coming this year. 🙌🥰#AIGADesignConf

[Linda Varghese @LV727]

This is always my favorite part of the @AIGAdesign conference 😍 Looking forward to what @phimher has organized. #aigaDesignConf #AIGAtogether

[Lauren Porter @PorPortPorter]

100%. That thread is disheartening.

[Andrew Johnson @andropolis]

At some point we need to acknowledge that these affordances can actually be about accessibility. I’m always floored by what designers (and younger generations in general) take for granted.

[Lauren Porter @PorPortPorter]

So honored to be a part of this! 🙌

[Within @gowithinco]

We had a great time tonight exploring “belonging” with so many of you. Thanks to our speakers, @thumbtack and @InVisionApp for helping make it happen. 🖤

[Alexis Lucio @alexisxlucio]

Thank you @gowithinco and @thumbtack for the awesome event tonight!! Really loved the musical chairs lightning style format and the share out of major insights at the end! ✨✨ #sfdesignevents #withinmagazine

After an incredible week, it’s hard to say goodbye (for now) to such an inspiring group of humans. 🖤
