#Ad I recently discovered a website that uses AI to find the best deals and they also make it a goal to be completely #blind #accessible!

It's difficult to keep up with deals during Black Friday and Cyber Monday because they’re often scattered about online, but InnoSearch compiles them onto a single website! It can even show you a price history for an item Give it a try and let me know what you think!!

Bringing Accessibility to XR Games

SXSW 2024 Schedule | Virtual, augmented, and mixed reality are rapidly emerging, leaving 1 billion people with disabilities behind, and much more if we account for temporary disabilities such as having your arm in a cast. This panel brings together the pioneers of XR accessibility — game developers, accessibility researchers, innovators, and people with disabilities — to explore how XR games can incorporate inclusive design practices, processes, and tools into the development cycle and ensure that people with dis...

Since my new video with Molly Burke dropped, I figured I would update my channel trailer; it was definitely time! Mariah And I put a ton of work and heart into it, so I hope you all like it and learn a thing or two about me :)

I’m elated to announce that I have been accepted into the 2023 Virtual Exchange program offered by the @IGDAFoundation! Cannot wait to learn from people in the field and then apply that new knowledge to my background in accessibility. No words to adequately express my excitement! Gaming is for everyone and I'm continuing down the path to help make that a reality.

Went to a park for a picnic. Found an orange tree and you know I had to pick one. Nature is beautiful.
Last Friday I attended my very first in person accessibility event at #a11yCampBay. Located in San Francisco at Uber HQ, I had the opportunity to listen to and converse with others on topics such as #ARIA, #AutomatedTesting for accessibility, and new developments with the use of #AltText in GIFs provided through Giphy. I honestly learned so much from so many talented people and I look forward to doing the same next year.

Tomorrow I’ll be attending my very first in person accessibility networking event. It’s in San Francisco and I’m so excited! What do you all think?
