Disability Visibility Project
Accessibility, a phrase, an embodiment, a commitment. Alice Wong, creator of the Disability Visibility Project (DVP), is a fierce change maker. Initially considered as a project to encourage conversations between people living with disabilities, the DVP boomed into an oral history archive, activist network, blog community, and podcast series. Through my audio producer role with the DVP, the experience of creating accessible media has transformed the way I identify and connect to disability communities.
StoryCorps in SF
Working as a field producer for StoryCorps in San Francisco, I facilitated over 500 interviews both in partnership with marginalized communities and with the general public. Numerous edited conversations were aired on NPR broadcast or the StoryCorps podcast. The practice of holding space, ensuring quality audio, utilizing archival protocols, and building trust was incredibly fulfilling work.
