“Narrowing the Disability Employment Gap” is an episode of Access & Opportunity that I produced in collaboration with one of my colleagues at At Will Media. My responsibilities for this episode included pre-interviewing, scripting questions and assembling the rough cuts as well as write the episode copy.

On this episode, we learn how unemployment drives the disability wealth gap and how advocates and entrepreneurs are working to drive change for the betterment of the disabled community. First we hear from disability scholar and advocate D’Arcee Charington Neal, who draws on his lived experience as a disabled Black person in order to advise companies to reduce ableism and racis in the workplace. Then, host Carla Harris speaks with Inclusively co-founder and CEO, Charlotte Dales, about how their technology is making it easier for companies to hire disabled people.
