9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
my experience when it comes to

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
disability being included in the[br]conversation

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
about inclusivity has been that in

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
general it hasn't been

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It's only recently that it's really start

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to move the needle on me, you do a lot of

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
work with sag-aftra in issues around[br]of diversity

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and inclusivity and I got a say that the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
performance of disability has done

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
phenomenal work in moving the needle

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
in getting this conversation happening in

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the industry , its amazing how much energy

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
it takes to get that big old bolder role

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
in just an inch and they've done that

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and it's starting to move now, it's

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
actually starting to role and people

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
have that in conversation [br]cause-ahh-causepeople

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I think what Iam most excited about[br]right now

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
is that so many people are talking about

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
equality and inclusivity and they are

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
trying to make sure that nobody get's

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
left out and so when you point out

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to somebody that you are leaving out

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the 20% of the population

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
they pay attention, they wake up

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and so that to me has been, I think it's

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
not been nearly as hard a converstion

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
as it would have been 10-15 years ago

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
people suddenly go, oh ! you are right

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I haven't been thinking about that [br]

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
i have'nt been including performance[br]of the disabilities in my projects,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I haven't been hiring writers [br]with disabilities

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I haven't been looking for producer

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
so the simple fact that is being pointed

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
out to them in a sometimes in the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
shaming way but sometimes in the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
this action will improve your bottom line

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
because people always wanna see[br]themselves on camera

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and this doesn't always either be[br]the point

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
in fact sometimes it's most powerful win

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
yo, what you see a person on camera with a

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
disability and it's not the point of [br]the story

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that's happening more and more[br]it's not happening enough

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
but lets be clear [br]but it's happening more

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
cause you know [br]at the end of the day I think

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
people are starting to realize that if you

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
say you stand for a quality, it's got be [br]a quality across the board

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It can't be just quality for people that[br]look look like me

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
or my gender,or think like me, or [br]love like me

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It's gotta be a quality for everybody

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
either you fight for everybody or [br]you really just fighting for yourself

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and people like you

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
so I think that's the message that's [br]gotta get out there more and more

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I think, It's out there that simple [br]note of

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
don't forget about these folks

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
who are by the way is the biggest [br]population

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
of people that are forgotten in the [br]country
