SUMMARY:Disability Inclusion and Intersectionality: A Talk with Two Disabled Latina Professionals
DESCRIPTION:Disability is not often thought of when we think of diversity. But disability needs to be part of diversity and equity initiatives\, and disability inclusion benefits everyone. Join speakers Catarina Rivera and Mariella Paulino for a lively discussion on the case for disability inclusion and why it matters in all settings\, with special attention placed on higher educational settings. They will also discuss the meaning of intersectionality and what it means for them personally to identify as disabled Latina professionals. ASL interpretation will be available for this event. \nMariella Paulino\nMariella Paulino | @projecthearing\nMariella is a disability advocate who creates systems and tools that help people interact better with the world around them. In 2014 she was pulled over by a police officer but because of her hearing loss\, her inability to follow commands was understood as noncompliance and created a situation that could easily have escalated. The experience left her so shaken she went on to do her Master’s degree in communications to explore how people with hearing disabilities receive and share information. From her thesis\, she created her own company\, Project Hearing\, which among many other things\, creates bumper stickers that say “Deaf Driver” in an effort to facilitate communication between deaf drivers and police officers. She has worked in tech as a software developer\, designer\, and project manager working at the intersection of tech and social impact initiatives that create inclusion\, accessibility\, and equity. She is now devoting herself full-time to her passion project\, Project Hearing\, and co-founding Chicas Talk Disability to share her message of accessibility and inclusion in tech. Mariella has a BA from New York University and a graduate degree from Georgetown University.\nwww.projecthearing.com\nwww.instagram.com/projecthearing\nwww.linkedin.com/in/mariellapaulino \nCatarina Rivera\nCatarina Rivera | @blindishLatina\nCatarina is the founder of Blindish Latina\, a platform smashing disability stigmas through storytelling\, advocacy\, and education.
