Inclusion and Awareness
Participating as the guest editor of Accessible Journeys magazine Winter 2023 issue , and being an inclusion advocate during the World Inclusion Day event in Las Vegas on October 10th , 2023 , allowed me to deepen my understanding of true inclusion . While many may think they grasp its meaning , genuine inclusion often remains elusive . Those who have the privilege of hearing and speaking sometimes take these abilities for granted . As someone with unique abilities , I ' ve learned the importance of mindfulness in navigating life in general . My thirst for knowledge continues to grow , driven by my awareness of the wealth of information and experiences surrounding me . Although I may miss certain
auditory aspects , I value the gift of sight and the ability to communicate through sign language , providing me with a beautiful way to engage with the world .
