Employment & Empowerment for Nigerians with Disabilities

Episode Notes Racheal Inegbedion and Sarah Cohen are reducing the barriers to employment for persons with disabilities in Nigeria. Listen in to hear more about their recent Reciprocal Exchange - a component of the Mandela Washington Fellowship that provides funds for U.S. professionals to travel to sub-Saharan African countries or implement hybrid or virtual projects. This collaboration resulted in a disability employment manual for Nigerian Employers of Labour and a 7-minute documentary film that shares the experiences of three young adults with barriers that hinder their participation in inclusive workplaces. Racheal & Sarah hope that the film will shift attitudes from a "culture of compliance" to an increase in truly inclusive workspaces. Watch the documentary here:
