This video is so moving and educating. Admittedly I am not tech savvy and I didn’t know How better I could use an image description, moving forward I will always include one. If anyone has any tips on if there is a best way to include the descriptions and what format works I’d appreciate them. Posted @withregram • @habengirma I’m in National Geographic! The best part? People commented on an accessibility barrier, asking @NatGeo to fix it. If you are someone who advocates when you notice a barrier, thank you! 💜 Video Description: (I’m sitting outside speaking, and my guide dog is chilling on the ground behind me.) National Geographic featured me on their Instagram page. I couldn't see the photo, but I recognized the photographer's name. And I remembered that day when I sat down with her, it was just before my book came out, so there was a lot of excitement around the book launch. I decided to just celebrate being featured in National Geographic. And, It was a really hard week, so I just decided I'm not going to advocate on the accessibility of the photo. Then I was reading through the comments and I noticed people commenting: This is missing an image description! Blind people are also on Instagram. There needs to be an image descriptions so all people can have access, including the person in the photo! This video is to say thank you to everyone who's called out a barrier when you've noticed it. #Blind #Accessibility #NatGeo
