Episode Notes

Racheal Inegbedion and Sarah Cohen are reducing the barriers to employment for persons with disabilities in Nigeria. Listen in to hear more about their recent Reciprocal Exchange - a component of the Mandela Washington Fellowship that provides funds for U.S. professionals to travel to sub-Saharan African countries or implement hybrid or virtual projects.

This collaboration resulted in a disability employment manual for Nigerian Employers of Labour and a 7-minute documentary film that shares the experiences of three young adults with barriers that hinder their participation in inclusive workplaces. Racheal & Sarah hope that the film will shift attitudes from a "culture of compliance" to an increase in truly inclusive workspaces.
