1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,694
my experience when it comes to

2
00:00:01,694 --> 00:00:03,804
disability being included in the
conversation

3
00:00:03,804 --> 00:00:05,846
about inclusivity has been that in

4
00:00:06,063 --> 00:00:07,524
general it hasn't been

5
00:00:12,110 --> 00:00:14,076
It's only recently that it's really start

6
00:00:14,086 --> 00:00:16,056
to move the needle on me, you do a lot of

7
00:00:16,056 --> 00:00:19,431
work with sag-aftra in issues 
around of diversity

8
00:00:19,452 --> 00:00:21,218
and inclusivity and I got a say that

9
00:00:21,218 --> 00:00:23,317
the performance of disability to me 
has done

10
00:00:23,317 --> 00:00:25,217
phenomenal work in moving the 
needle in

11
00:00:25,217 --> 00:00:28,112
getting this conversation 
happening in the industry,

12
00:00:28,112 --> 00:00:29,458
its amazing how much energy

13
00:00:29,458 --> 00:00:32,077
it takes to get that big old bolder role

14
00:00:32,087 --> 00:00:34,517
in just an inch and they've done that

15
00:00:34,517 --> 00:00:36,013
and it's starting to move now

16
00:00:36,013 --> 00:00:37,149
It's actually starting to role

17
00:00:37,149 --> 00:00:39,359
and people have that in conversation 


18
00:00:39,359 --> 00:00:39,979
cause-ahh-causepeople

19
00:00:40,751 --> 00:00:43,244
I think what Iam most excited
about right now

20
00:00:43,422 --> 00:00:45,884
is that so many people are talking about

21
00:00:46,010 --> 00:00:48,336
equality and inclusivity and

22
00:00:48,436 --> 00:00:51,113
they are trying to make sure that
nobody get's left out

23
00:00:51,113 --> 00:00:52,393
and so when you point out

24
00:00:52,393 --> 00:00:54,596
to somebody that you are leaving out

25
00:00:54,759 --> 00:00:56,464
the 20% of the population

26
00:00:56,464 --> 00:00:58,329
they pay attention, they wake up

27
00:00:58,329 --> 00:01:01,250
and so that to me has been, I think it's

28
00:01:01,259 --> 00:01:03,516
not been nearly as hard a converstion

29
00:01:03,561 --> 00:01:06,000
as it would have been 10-15 years ago

30
00:01:06,034 --> 00:01:08,156
people suddenly go, oh ! you are right

31
00:01:08,199 --> 00:01:09,960
I haven't been thinking about that 


32
00:01:09,960 --> 00:01:13,354
i have'nt been including performance
of the disabilities in my projects,

33
00:01:13,354 --> 00:01:15,357
I haven't been hiring writers 
with disabilities

34
00:01:15,357 --> 00:01:17,037
I haven't been looking for producer

35
00:01:17,266 --> 00:01:20,040
so the simple fact that is being pointed

36
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,862
out to them in a sometimes in the

37
00:01:23,453 --> 00:01:26,205
shaming way but sometimes in the

38
00:01:26,332 --> 00:01:28,765
this action will help improve your 
bottom line

39
00:01:28,765 --> 00:01:31,662
because people always wanna see
themselves on camera

40
00:01:31,662 --> 00:01:33,660
and this doesn't always either be
the point

41
00:01:33,660 --> 00:01:35,673
in fact sometimes it's most powerful win

42
00:01:35,805 --> 00:01:38,389
yo, what you see a person on camera with a

43
00:01:38,389 --> 00:01:40,829
disability and it's not the point of 
the story

44
00:01:40,941 --> 00:01:45,291
that's happening more and more
it's not happening enough

45
00:01:45,469 --> 00:01:48,223
but lets be clear 
but it's happening more

46
00:01:48,249 --> 00:01:49,591
cause you know at the end of
the day

47
00:01:49,611 --> 00:01:51,367
I think people are starting to 
realize that if you

48
00:01:51,367 --> 00:01:54,894
say you stand for a quality, it's got
be a quality across the board

49
00:01:55,101 --> 00:01:58,032
It can't be just quality for people
that look look like me

50
00:01:58,193 --> 00:02:01,085
or my gender,or think like me, or 
love like me

51
00:02:01,230 --> 00:02:03,018
It's gotta be a quality for everybody

52
00:02:03,018 --> 00:02:05,572
either you fight for everybody or 
you really just fighting for yourself

53
00:02:05,572 --> 00:02:06,811
and people like you

54
00:02:06,811 --> 00:02:09,171
so I think that's the message that's 
gotta get out there more and more

55
00:02:09,391 --> 00:02:12,537
I think, It's out there that simple 
note of

56
00:02:12,564 --> 00:02:14,037
don't forget about these folks

57
00:02:14,196 --> 00:02:16,356
who are by the way is the biggest 
population

58
00:02:16,501 --> 00:02:18,661
of people that are forgotten in the 
country
