This week we have a fun and spontaneous interview with The Cooper Hewitt Museum’s Manager of Accessibility, Ruth Starr. We chat about her entry into the world of inclusion studying translation and interpreting at the Rochester Institute of Technology and the “ah ha!” moment of realizing how inclusion and the arts fit together. We also hear about the many hats she’s worn, the things she learned from MoMa, the upcoming work with alt text, and our mutual love for Michelle Obama. Also this week we’re happy to announce that the podcast is hitting the road! We will be in Chicago February 19th to the 21st and hope to meet as many Access Champions and Inclusion Warriors in the windy city as possible! All of that and more on this week’s episode of The Access Champions Podcast.

Wrapping up one of the last mini-interviews from our Atlanta Pop-Up Studio we hang out with the Nasher Museum’s Director of Education and Public Programs, Jessica Ruhle. We chat about the amazing access initiatives for individuals with vision loss happening down in Durham, her passion for working with individuals with dementia, and I do my best to not let my Anti-Duke bias shine through. I also take a moment of reflection this week to speak on the Covington Catholic situation and once again how privilege can be used for good. All of that and more on this week’s episode of The Access Champions Podcast.

On deck this week we have Jeremy McGovern, the founder of Miracle League Los Angeles. We chat about his first exposure to the Miracle League with Oprah and seeing the need for this type of program. We also hear what the hurdles were and continue to be launching something like this in a city like Los Angeles and how organizations like The Dodgers and The Cal Ripken Foundation help. Finally as two city boys we couldn’t help but end up talking mass transportation and our love/hate relationship with it. All of that and more on this week’s episode of The Access Champions Podcast.

This week we take a deep dive on inclusive language. We look at the most recent Kevin Hart situation and how inclusive language lives in the world of comedy versus every day life. What are the repercussions for walking the line when creating jokes about marginalized communities and we look at examples of doing it inclusively (Ron Funches) and less inclusively (D.L. Hughley). From there we go on a journey of acknowledging mistakes and look at best practices to opening yourself up to a personal, diverse, community.
