my experience when it comes to

disability being included in the
conversation

about inclusivity has been that in

general it hasn't been

It's only recently that it's really start

to move the needle on me, you do a lot of

work with sag-aftra in issues
around of diversity

and inclusivity and I got a say that

the performance of disability to me
has done

phenomenal work in moving the
needle in

getting this conversation
happening in the industry,

its amazing how much energy

it takes to get that big old bolder role

in just an inch and they've done that

and it's starting to move now

It's actually starting to role

and people have that in conversation

cause-ahh-causepeople

I think what Iam most excited
about right now

is that so many people are talking about

equality and inclusivity and

they are trying to make sure that
nobody get's left out

and so when you point out

to somebody that you are leaving out

the 20% of the population

they pay attention, they wake up

and so that to me has been, I think it's

not been nearly as hard a converstion

as it would have been 10-15 years ago

people suddenly go, oh ! you are right

I haven't been thinking about that

i have'nt been including performance
of the disabilities in my projects,

I haven't been hiring writers
with disabilities

I haven't been looking for producer

so the simple fact that is being pointed

out to them in a sometimes in the

shaming way but sometimes in the

this action will help improve your
bottom line

because people always wanna see
themselves on camera

and this doesn't always either be
the point

in fact sometimes it's most powerful win

yo, what you see a person on camera with a

disability and it's not the point of
the story

that's happening more and more
it's not happening enough

but lets be clear
but it's happening more

cause you know at the end of
the day

I think people are starting to
realize that if you

say you stand for a quality, it's got
be a quality across the board

It can't be just quality for people
that look look like me

or my gender,or think like me, or
love like me

It's gotta be a quality for everybody

either you fight for everybody or
you really just fighting for yourself

and people like you

so I think that's the message that's
gotta get out there more and more

I think, It's out there that simple
note of

don't forget about these folks

who are by the way is the biggest
population

of people that are forgotten in the
country
