Courage to Be Human at Work webinar: Vulnerability, Access, Connection

Partner & Community Accessibility We’re often told to “bring our whole selves to work.” But what does that mean when being fully seen can carry real risks—and when support isn’t always accessible, understood, or safe to ask for? In this 90-minute webinar, we’ll explore courage and vulnerability in the workplace through disability, mental health, accessibility, and human connection. We’ll examine the choices people make around masking, disclosure, accommodations, and asking for support—and consider what individuals, managers, and organizations can do to make those choices safer and more empowering. Register to attend on Zoom Led by Linea Johnson, a workplace mental health leader with lived experience, this session combines professional expertise and personal perspective to examine the realities of navigating mental health and disability at work. Rather than treating vulnerability as something employees need to get better at, we’ll consider how workplace culture, power, accessibility, and trust shape openness and belonging. Event interval: Single day event. Accessibility Contact: info@di-washington.org. Event Types: Diversity Equity Inclusion. Lectures/Seminars. Target Audience: Those seeking understanding of vulnerability & inclusion, contributing to an accessible workplace. Wednesday, September 30, 2026, 11:00 AM – 12:30 PM.

Outrage Bait and Culture Wars: Visual Analysis of Social Media Posts Featuring WNBA Players Women’s sports have surged in visibility over the past few years, both in the arena and out in the broader public conversation. Coverage within traditional media (i.e. broadcast television and newspapers) is on the rise, but attention in those venues now comes hand-in-hand with attention on social and digital media.
