Thank you @MediaInsider for sharing my journey with closed captions and subtitles! #accessibility #Tech4Good

[Insider Media @insidermedia]

When she watched TV at a friend's house as a child, Heather Dowdy, @netflix's first director of product accessibility, realized people didn't always use subtitles. ⬇️

🧏 At her home, subtitles were always on, because @heatherdbuilds’s parents are deaf.
