Sacil was the first person to guide me into the journey of social justice. She so gently questioned my harmful beliefs and informed me on what was actually happening in the world. Her ability to hold space with kindness and accountability is unparalleled. She’s a dear friend of mine and trusted advisor and teacher. I’m so beyond grateful for her work, her impact in my life and to be able to share her with you today.

This is a replay of our interview from 2019. Enjoy and be sure to check out her courses and membership Inspired by Indigo (maybe I’ll see you in there!)

I’m so excited to introduce you to Steph Wharton today. I first met her at the Thrive Summit which was hosted by Esther Yew. She was just being herself during her presentation and throwing out info gems all over the place. I’m personally looking forward to her support this Fall with some fun visibility opportunities (more on that later!)

Steph’s views on showing up are a breath of fresh air and totally aligned with Illustrative’s values. So let’s dive into our interview with Steph and see how to build that confidence and increase visibility while learning a little more about her and her work.

Visual accessibility means helping visual learners (“Oh I see it now” people) and visual thinkers (“How do I say this…” people) understand what you are saying and share their thoughts so they can fully participate in the conversation. We can only really support them if we think of it from a Universal Design (works for all students) and Intersectionality lens (thinking of new experiences caused by overlapping access issues).
