George Sifakis: Do you think that the way<br />
disabled people are portrayed every day has a role<br />
in the challenges that we're facing?<br />
Donna Bungard: Absolutely. Here in the US,<br />
there used to be beautification laws, meaning if<br />
your relative wasn't sightly, you would keep them<br />
hidden. This has shown up in a lot of our<br />
advertising, but it's changing. For a lot of<br />
companies, if you look on their websites, you're<br />
going to see people with disabilities represented<br />
by what they actually do. We had this beautiful<br />
piece recently put out about a phlebotomist named<br />
Lexi. The story is not about her disability; it's<br />
about her journey as somebody in health care. We<br />
need to see more people showing up doing what<br />
they do.<br />

George: So you have a mountain of data,<br />
and data is gold. Data today is a<br />
commodity, and it's becoming more so<br />
every day with ChatGPT and all the areas<br />
in which data is being utilized. What are<br />
the industries lacking here? We talked<br />
about Hollywood and knew there could be<br />
more done to make it more inclusive, and<br />
it paints a different picture of the inclusion<br />
that should be. But what are other<br />
industries that are ripe for change? Is it<br />
every industry?<br />
People with disabilities should not just be experts<br />
on disability. I always joke that we'll know we've<br />
done well when a quarter of the pictures we see of<br />
people buying socks, car insurance, or other really<br />
boring things include them. This should not only<br />
apply when you're talking about retirement funds<br />
because we do have an aging workforce. We have<br />
an incredible talent pool there, and according to<br />
the statistics, most of us, as we age, will acquire<br />
some disability if we don't already have one.<br />
