We are very excited to have Gilly Cabral as our guest speaker this Sunday, October 13! Ahead of the service on Sunday, Karen highly recommends the following TED Talks. Please enjoy!
"Why Design Should Include Everyone" Sinéad Burke
Sinéad Burke is acutely aware of details that are practically invisible to many of us. At 105 centimeters (or 3' 5") tall, the designed world -- from the height of a lock to the range of available shoe sizes -- often inhibits her ability to do things for herself. Here she tells us what it's like to navigate the world as a little person and asks: "Who are we not designing for?"
"I'm Not Your Inspiration, Thank You Very Much" Stella Young
Stella Young is a comedian and journalist who happens to go about her day in a wheelchair — a fact that doesn't, she'd like to make clear, automatically turn her into a noble inspiration to all humanity. In this very funny talk, Young breaks down society's habit of turning disabled people into "inspiration porn."
See you Sunday!
