In this inspiring episode we sit down with Elena Brescacin, an accessibility consultant, inclusive designer at Tangity Design (an NTT Data company), and a powerful advocate for HIV awareness.
Elena, who has been blind since birth, shares her remarkable journey of using assistive technology like Envision Glasses and Ally to promote accessibility, inclusion, and social change. From being an early adopter and community ambassador for Envision to becoming a creative force for HIV advocacy, Elena’s story is one of courage, wit, and innovation.
Discover how Elena turned a simple joke with a friend into a groundbreaking moment for HIV education — transforming Ally, the AI assistant, into a "talking HIV virus" that redefines how we discuss health stigma. Through humor, creativity, and technology, she challenges outdated narratives about HIV and empowers people to confront fear with knowledge.
