Is your marketing and communication strategy excluding people inadvertantly? In this episode you learn about Alycia's background with accessibility and disability, then some quick tips to make sure your digital media is always hitting the mark for accessibility to boost your inclusivity.
UPDATE - Thanks to the Accessibility education community I have learned that including your image description in the caption or post in addition to in the alt text formatting DOES provide additional benefit to access. Need tips on how to write these descriptions?

70. Focusing on Progress
We need to prioritize making some progress all the time, rather than waiting for a perfect opportunity or big win, when it comes to implementing sustainable improvements in our businesses.
Alycia covers: mindset, some ideas of what counts, how to give yourself credit, and why it's so important to recognize when you're focused on making small progress instead of waiting for perfection.
