Hi Jon,
In this edition you will find out that leaders such as former US President Barack Obama and Microsost CEO Satya Nadella care about inclusion.
But what does inclusion mean to you? As an individual, as a business or as a consumer? Have you ever interacted with a person with disability closely or are you one yourself? Inclusion and accessibility is not a privilege but a basic human right. Where we include everyone irrespective of disability, race, gender, sexual orientation, medical condition or any other need. We all are unique human beings with unique human traits. It is imperative that to be a sustainable society needs of everyone are being met without any prejudice or discrimination.
