In this week's podcast episode I am sharing my interview with Tiffany Yu.

Tiffany Yu is the CEO & Founder of Diversability, a 3x TEDx speaker, and the author of The Anti-Ableist Manifesto: Smashing Stereotypes, Forging Change, and Building a Disability-Inclusive World. 

Tiffany started her career at Goldman Sachs before becoming a speaker and writer on disability. 

At the age of 9, Tiffany became disabled as a result of a car accident that also took the life of her father. 

Inspired by the viral The Anti-Ableism Series on TikTok, The Anti-Ableist Manifesto is Diversability founder Tiffany Yu's revelatory examination of disability for any ally to go beyond mere awareness to be an active anti-ableist and help form a more equitable society for all.

Not going to lie, I devoured this book! After spending countless hours advocating for my daughter over the years, especially in the education system, this was a perfect guidebook to helping non disabled people advocate for inclusion, access and belonging for all students.

If you know someone who has had to advocate for themselves or a family member in the health, education or employment systems, definitely share this book. If you'd like to learn how to be an ally to the disabled community, definitely read this book.
