Leadership Fundamentals for Women with Disabilities
Women with disabilities experience a wide range of microaggressions that reflect both ableism and sexism. There is a prevalent assumption that women with disabilities are incapable of working, learning, taking on new challenges, or participating in events and activities with colleagues. This playlist helps unpack some of the most common biases women with disabilities face, as well as research-backed, actionable steps you can take to combat them. Each video is accompanied by a guide specific to the experiences of women with disabilities. The guide helps you discuss with your peers how best to navigate these challenges and thrive at work.
