Episode notes
Send us Fan Mail Let’s talk about the difference between looking inclusive — and actually being inclusive. In this powerful episode, Marion and Danny are joined by Dr. Angela Young, a bold advocate for digital accessibility, to break down the emotional labor, internalized ableism, and corporate gaslighting that so many disabled, neurodivergent, and non-binary professionals still face at work. From rainbow logos to “awareness weeks,” companies love to brand themselves as inclusive — right up until someone asks for real change. Angela unpacks what performative DEI looks like from the inside, what happens when inclusion becomes inconvenient , and what true allyship really requires. Whether you're an HR leader, line manager, or employee trying to survive in a system that wasn’t built for you — this conversation will challenge you to do better.
