Authentic Representation
The weekend is here and we wanted to share The Weekend Keys.
Why is Authentic Representation Important?

Opportunity right now to really make real change within the industry

Use imagery and videos that portray real people with disabilities
Quote from Article: "Represent real people: Use imagery and videos that portray real people with disabilities instead of actors portraying persons with disabilities. By using authentic visual content which includes people with disabilities, you also include them in the conversation and allow them to help shape the way they are represented, which in turn may also influence how they view themselves within our broader society."
