Unmasking Ableism: Creating a World Where Everyone Belongs

 Many of us want to be kind, accepting, and inclusive, but even with the best intentions, we can still unknowingly contribute to ableism. In this powerful message, Dr. Davi Kallman will unpack what ableism really is, how it shows up in everyday interactions, and why it’s not just a disability issue, it’s a human one. Drawing from her personal experiences with hidden disabilities and her work in higher education, disability advocacy, and policy reform, Davi will help us recognize the everyday ways ableism shows up, even when we mean well. Together, we’ll reflect on how to build truly inclusive communities where every body and mind is welcomed, supported, and valued.
