Technology & Art. This has been our mantra from the beginning origins of Safe In Harm's Way Foundation, Inc And we took our technology and art, to a premier in Times Square and then across outdoor media within the entire country. Technology? A collaborative effort with NEON | An IPG Health Company and DomesticShelters.org. Together we created TheLastImSorry.com which is the first and only online access (with two built in safety features) which allows women, men, the LGBTQIA+ community, People of Color, immigrants, English as a second language, and disabled people to find immediate services and community in one place. We saw a 2000% increase in the use of our services at both SIHW and DS. Art? A world-wide effort creating art to capture attention (versus bruised and battered people) so that people facing isolation and abuse can find the online resources they need, not only during the holidays, but every day. The campaign was shot by James Beard Photography Award winner Johnny Miller, and includes hand-drawn typography from internationally known illustrator Sarah Coleman, whose client roster includes Coca-Cola, Apple, and Disney. Visually, it showcases the haunting buildup of apologies through the imagery of wilting flower arrangements and gifts. This allows a light-bulb moment of the feelings in toxic relationships and inspiration to seek help. Currently, we have over 18,000 people who have gained access to TheLastImSorry.com and our life-changing resources. We work tirelessly to create new ways to change the normalization of violence in the most intimate relationships, so that solutions for safety, health and healing can be found immediately online. Check us out. Share our resources. Your friends, family, and co-workers deserve to know help exists. #SafeInHarmsWay #EmpowermentAtYourFingertips #DomesticViolenceSolutions

Founder & CEO | Digital Accessibility Partner | Top Digital Accessibility Coach | Top Host of the 'Diverse Perspectives' Live show | Bilingual Speaker (French, English)
✨ Blindness and Photography: Finding New Ways to Capture the World Can a blind person use a camera? Absolutely! Meet Stephanie Renberg, who, after losing her sight, learned one of the biggest lessons: you can always find a way. In her powerful video, Stephanie shows how she uses her camera, proving that disability doesn’t have to mean limitations—it just requires new approaches. This is a beautiful reminder that accessibility isn’t just about compliance, but about empowering people to engage with the world in meaningful ways. Technology, when designed with inclusivity in mind, offers incredible possibilities. Did you know? - According to the WHO, there are 2.2 billion people worldwide with visual impairments. - Accessible technology can enhance independence and productivity for individuals with disabilities, bridging gaps that traditional designs may overlook. At LT Diverse Perspectives Hub, you’ll hear from inclusive leaders, like Stephanie, who are challenging perceptions and driving change.

Committed to increasing participation and representation of Black and Brown women, and girls with disabilites in the mass media.
How Accessible Is Your Office? How are your social media posts? Do they include image descriptions for the visually impaired? Can I read your printed document if I’m blind? This October, as we mark #SightAwarenessMonth and #NationalDisabilityEmploymentAwarenessMonth (NDEAM), it's the perfect time to reflect on inclusion and accessibility. Inclusion begins when we value and embrace the diverse abilities and perspectives of every individual, making the world accessible for all. Whether it's braille menus, screen readers, accessible websites, or simple things like alt-text on social media, every step matters. Let’s create barrier-free spaces where everyone belongs and thrives. Together, we can build a future where no one is left behind. Help us change the perception about what visible disability looks like for Black and Brown Women and Girls. Donate today via divaswithdisabilities.org These images showcase various accessibility tools designed to assist individuals with visual impairments. Here’s a detailed look at each: 1. ID1: A Black woman using a screen reader on her phone. She has locs and is wearing a jacket. Text: Screen reader, Alt text, audio descriptions. 2.

I'm still seeing large, well-known corporations using stoplight color schemes in their data dashboards. Even when I say that's inaccessible, they tell me it's so entrenched in their company culture that they can't address it (yet). Even though it violated the Americans with Disabilities Act! Let me show you ways to increase the accessibility of your data. https://lnkd.in/g62BS8fP #dataviz #datadashboard

Afrocentric Filmmaker | Pan-African Advocate | Storyteller Extraordinaire 🎥🎬/ #Linkedincreator / Traveller 🚗🚄⛴️✈️
Colour Grading Process 👇👇👇👇 Embarking on my journey to refine my color-grading prowess, I eagerly scoured the web for tutorials tailored to enhancing dark skin tones. However, what I discovered reshaped my perspective: the hue of one's skin matters less in the grand scheme, as the essence of humanity runs through all veins, irrespective of pigment. Racism and notions of superiority are insidious constructs, designed by the morally bankrupt to perpetuate theft, exploitation, and the dehumanization of others. It's time to dismantle these barriers and embrace the richness of diversity. Join the movement for equality and inclusion today. #EndRacism #EmbraceDiversity #ColorGrading #DiversityInMedia

The disabled creators in the documentary are from journalism, film, online media, and the entertainment industry and illustrate to the world how to maneuver around barriers to make empowering and accessible media. Props No More the film will continue as Props No More the media platform to be a place for disabled media creators to teach and mentor disability community members worldwide who want to create their own innovative media content."
