Manage episode 468394837 series 3550156
"Just because you can’t see it, doesn’t mean it’s not real."
Onyinye Udokporo, CEO and founder of Enrich Learning, dives into a conversation that’s both eye-opening and deeply personal, exploring the differences between UK and US disability cultures. From how each country approaches accessibility and support to the ways people talk about neurodivergence, it’s clear that culture shapes the disability experience in ways we don’t always realize.
A big theme in this discussion is the power of language—how the words we use can either create understanding or reinforce barriers. Onyinye shares why being intentional with language isn’t just about being polite; it’s about making the world more inclusive and accessible for everyone. This conversation is a reminder that small shifts in how we speak and think about disability can make a huge difference.
