S116: The Future of Advocacy

In this powerful finale of our 16-week advocacy series, Dr. Charles Powell returns to reflect on where advocacy stands today and what needs to shift to create lasting change. He dives into enforcing disability rights laws, expanding digital accessibility, challenging employment discrimination, and calling both blind and sighted individuals to action. This is more than a conversation—it’s a movement. Dr. Powell encourages listeners to speak up, show up, and lead the next generation into a more inclusive world.
