Outtakes... they happen even when you're making vi Outtakes... they happen even when you're making videos about serious topics like disability rights and inclusion. We bring our sense of humor, stories and intensity to our @heartsofglassfilm panel discussions – an integral part of our virtual events. Fun AND professional – what could be a better combo? Think about working with us in the fall for National Disability Employment Awareness Month. (link in bio)

Today marks the 32nd anniversary of the American D Today marks the 32nd anniversary of the American Disabilities Act. Today, and every day, we celebrate this important law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life, including jobs, schools, transportation, and all public and private places that are open to the general public. The purpose of the law is to make sure that people with disabilities have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else. Passing the ADA didn't end discrimination, but it is a significant milestone. What are you doing to educate and celebrate?
