Why Accessibility? About 18 years ago, I realized some folks in my organization could not access an elearning course I created. Since then, I've spent a lot of time thinking...

“My "why" evolved from fixing one thing (color contrast) to designing for all from the start. The more people I meet and stories I hear, the more perspective I gain. Accessibility isn't a checklist. It's compassion, care, and dignity.”
