Creating Accessible Spaces with Marisa Rinchiuso

Nicole is joined by fellow Carnegie Mellon alum Marisa Rinchiuso (and her dog Remy) to dish all the (not so hot) Emmy Awards goss, dig into the intersections of disability and womanhood, and discuss the connection between inhumane working conditions and ableism.

Other topics include: going on a Disabled Rage Rampage™️, progressive disabilities in the workplace, building for the future, accessible hills in “Crippletopia,” and the alleged disability icon: Eeyore.

Marisa Rinchiuso is a disabled project manager currently working in concert touring and automation. A native Texan, she currently lives and works in Lititz, PA.
