Meet Sue

The following is a video short I created for the What Can YOU Do? Video Contest hosted by the Campaign for Disability Employment. The goal was to make a 60-second video that is related to people with disabilities and employment. The contest is over now, but a winner has not yet been announced. This was my entry:

And here is a transcript:

Sue is an employer.
Sue is a manager.
Sue is a mentor.
Sue is a teacher.

Sue is exciting!
Sue is engaging.
Sue is a wife.
Sue is a mother.
Sue is a person with dreams.
Sue is a person with aspirations.
Sue is a person with a disability.
Sue is a person.

    Cool. Though I have to admit the first one, “Sue is an employee” made me go, “Hmmmm….not disabled then.” Particularly if she is a teacher.

    But thanks for doing something. I think Sue is or could be all of those things, if people saw that Sue was a person. Instead of a person with a disability.
