Today, many businesses understand the benefits of diversity in the workplace and are prioritizing initiatives that push the needle to include diversity, equity and inclusion. Embracing diversity means acknowledging disability as a part of the human experience and taking intentional steps to remove barriers to learning so that all individuals can thrive. As the conversation around disability, diversity, equity, and inclusion continues, it's important to remember that anyone can become disabled at any time, and fighting for equality and disability justice should be a universal fight.
At GRAYSPACE, we encourage senior leaders to openly support diversity and disability inclusion by organizing events and recognizing people from diverse backgrounds and their contributions to legal and policy fields, including those who are differently abled. We invite individuals to share their lived experiences and act as role models with support from senior leaders and allies. If you have any ideas, we are happy to hear.
