laying on couch happy and wiped after 5th and final speaking engagement for #ADHDAwarenessMonth. It’s wonderful to see companies hosting events about ADHD in the workplace! I love spreading awareness and understanding, and helping people can feel seen and supported. 🧠✨🫶

When she watched TV at a friend's house as a child, Heather Dowdy, @netflix's first director of product accessibility, realized people didn't always use subtitles. ⬇️ 🧏 At her home, subtitles were always on, because @heatherdbuilds’s parents are deaf. businessinsider.com/netflix-access…
"She said Netflix, like all platforms, has a way to go on accessibility: “It really is a journey and it isn't going to be perfect — it is a constant iteration.”"
Prioritize progress, not perfection. 💯
