Mia Ives-Rublee is a disabled transracial adoptee who has dedicated her life to civil rights activism. She began her journey as an adapted athlete, competing internationally in track, road racing, fencing, and CrossFit; and obtained her Master's in Social Work at UNC Chapel Hill.
Mia began working with disabled people at the NC Division of Vocational Rehabilitation Services to help them find work and independence in their communities. She's best known for founding the Women's March Disability Caucus and organizing the original Women's March on Washington in 2017. Since then, she has worked with numerous progressive organisations on disability justice and inclusion.
As a keynote speaker, Mia advocates on the national stage for the rights of disabled people, immigrants, and other marginalized communities.
Disability intersects every facet of human life. But many organizations continue to struggle with how disability affects the issues they care about and how to be inclusive of the disability community. This workshop provides participants the opportunity to understand the basics of Disability Justice and learn how to make their own organizations and businesses more inclusive of the disability community.
People often have the wrong perceptions about the subject of disability. Often, it's because we don't understand the personal perspectives or insights of those with disabilities. Hear from our inspirational experts how those incorrect perceptions are not the reality.
Unconscious biases are attitudes that we hold subconsciously and affect how we feel and think towards others. Help your team recognise their biases and reduce their impact to ensure an inclusive working environment for everyone. Attendees will learn how to recognise, manage, and disrupt bias in the workplace. Participants will learn how to improve self-awareness regarding unconscious bias and review tools for mitigating bias in the workplace.
