Abstract: For something to be visible, it must be perceptible to the senses, constantly and frequently in thoughts and actions. Nothing is more disheartening than to hear a company say "we do equity." It is just like hearing "we do inclusion." The act of doing becomes more like checking a box than acknowledging that both are philosophies rooted in visible practices and are paramount to ensuring continuous improvement. During this keynote, I will give life to the terminology of "visible equity" and introduce four tenets that build a framework for interventions useful for everyone to achieve visible equity for employees with disabilities.
Thanks,
Aurora
