Описание: Like so many others, Caitlin Graves’ childhood was full of dreams of being a superhero. Though that dream has not come true, she has found that large parts of herself are invisible – just not in the way she had imagined. As a gay, neurodivergent woman with an invisible disability, she knows much lies beyond what can be seen with the naked eye, particularly when it comes to invisible disabilities. There is a wide gap in diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in the shape of disability, and Caitlin asks that we all take steps to radically recognize disability to begin to close it. Don’t find inspiration in making disabled people your superheroes; find it in the heroic effort it will take to close the gap. Caitlin grew up in Granbury, Texas and graduated from Austin College in 2013 where she majored in English and American Studies. She received her master's from Kent State University and doctorate from Abilene Christian University. In her professional life, Caitlin works in Knowledge Management and Organizational Development and Excellence. Additionally, she researches Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) topics within the educational sphere, specifically focusing on belonging and inclusion for marginalized groups. She lives in Washington, D.C. with her wife and their two cats. Also, still not a superhero. Yet. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
