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.

Wow it’s been 8 years since #AXSChat started as the top show for discussions on #accessibility and #DisabilityInclusion. We’ve all continue to learn so much from the diverse perspectives they make space for. Please donate via the link below to keep the #community going!
We’ve been running #AXSChat for 8 years and we want to keep it running- we have been lucky to have some great sponsorship over the years but we are now fundraising again to cover the running costs #a11y #community gofund.me/f9de5083 #GoFundMe

With the last few weeks’ events, I’m still grieving. On the last day of #MentalHealthMonth, I’m reflecting on some of the nuggets that were shared this month. I have more language and resources to better care for myself, support my community and expand the conversation globally.
