Inclusion + Accessibility Launch Pad

Overwhelmed and unsure where to begin? 

Start here.

Marie Dubost demystifies accessibility for facilitators, event organizers, and leaders that want to create open, welcoming gatherings.  This 2-part conversation on the Workshops Work podcast with Myriam Hadnes is well worth 75 minutes of your time.

 Marie's checklists for inclusive gatherings are here.

Maha Bali and Mia Zamora walk through pre-design, design, facilitation, and post-event practices that lead to more equitable workshops, meetings, and communities.

Maha and Mia are among the co-creators of Equity Unbound, an emergent, collaborative curriculum which aims to create equity-focused, open, connected, intercultural learning experiences across classes, countries and contexts.   

Dereca Blackmon combines clarity with compassion in her approach to inclusivity.  Having read, listened to, participated in, and created innumerable resources and trainings on the topic, I can think of no better guide than Dereca.  Her short LinkedIn course is a great first step to building an inclusive mindset.

In her highly readable The Waymakers, Tara Jaye Frank shares practical, actionable steps each of us can take towards creating more equitable workplaces. The information and guidance Frank shares is relevant for all of us. 

W Kamau Bell + Kate Schatz  created this thought-provoking, interactive anti-racist workbook. Via games, comics, illustrations, and other activities, they provide a unique, hands-on understanding of systemic racism—and how we can dismantle it. It's US-focused, yet relevant everywhere.
