Aislene makes a plea for accommodation.
Transcript
I want people to know that we’re able to accommodate people with disabilities. We saw that at the beginning of the COVID pandemic and how we had to scramble to accommodate thousands upon thousands of people in workplaces and yet they’re, kind of, pulling that back and not offering those accommodations to people that may need it for whatever they’re going through … It’s not fair to a lot of people who have so much to give but just need a little bit [of] accommodation to make that possible. I just want more accommodations for people with disabilities so that we can still contribute to society, just in a different way.
