Description: 

The Mid-Atlantic ADA Center invites you to participate in the webinar series “The Human Experience of Black People with Disabilities and Their Rights Under the ADA,” which reports on our research study about how Black individuals with disabilities access information and exercise their rights under the ADA.

Visibility matters. When we share our stories and perspectives, we challenge stereotypes, build empathy, and inspire others to action. This webinar will explore how embracing visibility can combat the intersectional discrimination faced by Black disabled individuals. We’ll discuss how sharing your authentic experiences can spark important conversations, foster understanding, and drive social change within your communities. Learn practical strategies for leveraging your voice and platform, building alliances, and engaging in effective community advocacy to amplify your impact.
