The Campaign pressures entertainment industry players to explicitly include disability in every diversity, equity, and inclusion conversation and strategy.

Sabrina’s experiences as a deaf woman who also experiences tinnitus have led her to co-found we’re all human (WAH) which challenges ableism in digital spaces and is fighting to make accessibility the priority for design."](http://sabrina.wereallhuman.uno/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/292794268_585568989883572_3638607397335353085_n-1024x1024.jpg)
