Explore the rich identity and experience of being Deaf in this 18-minute TEDx talk by Alexis Kashar, a civil rights lawyer and accessibility architect. Discover how exclusionary attitudes, often beginning at home, create barriers for deaf individuals. Learn about the necessary cultural shifts needed to foster a more inclusive society, using the Super Bowl as a compelling example. Gain insights from Kashar's multi-generational Deaf family background and her extensive career in civil rights and special education law. Understand the importance of accessibility in technology and sports, and how initiatives like the first ASL licensed merchandise line with the NFL are making a difference. Reflect on the speaker's appointment to the United States Access Board by President Joe Biden and her role as a Board Trustee for the New York School for the Deaf. This thought-provoking talk challenges viewers to reconsider their perspectives on inclusivity and accessibility for the Deaf community.
