Celebrating diversity
and inclusion Reflections on World Inclusion Day
I am honoured and humbled to have participated in the 2023 World Inclusion Day celebrations hosted by the Garden Foundation , located in the vibrant city of Las Vegas , Nevada on October 10th . As an American Sign Language interpreter passionate about inclusion , I was brought on board to work alongside with Jodi Fontana and Jada Willis , ensuring full accessibility and participation for all attendees at this momentous event .
World Inclusion Day holds deep meaning on a global scale , uniting diverse communities worldwide to advocate for the rights and well-being of individuals with disabilities and diverse abilities . Through my experiences teaching American Sign Language over the years , I have witnessed firsthand the immensely positive impact sign language can have on empowering individuals with Down Syndrome , autism and a wide variety of disabilities .
In this article , I aim to share my personal reflections and takeaways from World Inclusion Day , while also exploring my lifelong passion for furthering diversity , equity and inclusion - especially within the realm of travel .
