This week on the podcast, Shawn and Ishita welcome special guest Shawna Lawson for a timely conversation in honour of National AccessAbility Week, taking place this year from May 25 to June 1. Together, they explore the importance of this national initiative and the critical need for ongoing efforts toward disability inclusion in all areas of society. Shawna brings a unique dual perspective to the conversation, not only as President of the Blind Beginnings Board of Directors, but also as co-founder of Inclusive Experiences, a company that supports organizations in making their spaces and services more accessible. The discussion highlights a recent grant that’s enabling Blind Beginnings to expand its Blindness 101 awareness workshops across Canada, helping to educate the public and shift perceptions of blindness and disability. They also dive into the power of lived experience in facilitating workshops and how personal storytelling and real-world insight can spark meaningful change.
