Hello again, I hope you are having a good day.
I’m writing to share my conversation with Anuradha Varma host of Swishing Mindsets.
Where we spoke about why accessibility matters.
If you have been following me for very long, then you know I am a big believer that we have to make a better case for why people should care about accessibility.
She gave me the opportunity to do that in this interview. And I believe she now understands even better the need for improving accessibility.

Episode Teaser
Maxwell Ivey, better known as The Blind Blogger, grew up in a large extended family, which managed carnival rides.
Now a serial online entrepreneur, he is an American accessibility expert advocating for more inclusion of people with disabilities.
Here, the 59-year-old talks about how a small button being relocated on a screen can throw off his screen-reader and send his day into chaos, the importance of “alt text” for images and why companies must make accessibility a priority.
The aim, he says, is to go from “accessibility to usability to enjoyability for all abilities”.
I’m going to have to remember that last line. 🙂

Sharing Is Caring
One thing my carnival background taught me is the value of putting feet on the ground, butts in the seats, or faces behind the screens.
