Happy International Day of Persons with Disabilities (#IDPD)!
In this podcast episode, I interview Rikki Poynter who is a public speaker, writer, content creator, and streamer. She is an advocate for accessibility for those with disabilities. She speaks about her deafness, body positivity, chronic pain, mental health, child abuse awareness, bisexuality, and so much more. She began her YouTube career in July 2010, eventually, she spoke about being deaf. She is known to be a strong advocate of providing proper closed captioning on YouTube. She formed the closed captioning campaign called #NoMoreCRAPtions to bring awareness about accessibility for the deaf community.
