Our first “Why IT Matters” recording of 2021 covers the small and large ways decisions made about access, priority, and need in technology have direct effect on the perception, engagement, and participation of others. Our guest, Laura Tovar, Development Director at the Deaf Action Center relates her experience as an American Sign Language interpreter and her career growth to the issues our country is facing: justice, racism, and where and how the truth of matters is conveyed.
