SEE ALSO: Here are the highlights from VidCon 2025 this week so farWhen asked how accessibility overlaps in their personal and professional lives, Barbarin said, "I personally view accessibility as imagination and practice. I think that disabled people are some of the most creative people on the planet, because we have to adapt every single day to our environment."
Valentine noted, "Being accessible as a community and as society is really just honoring voices, listening to disabled people, and including them in everyday life and everyday conversations."
While Wheatley said, "Everyone has a disability, if they want to admit it to themselves or not, whether that's physically, mentally, or emotionally, and we all deserve to be somewhere and everywhere.
The panel's conversation focused on navigating disability in the everyday world, and as Barbarin wisely put it, "the disability math" that is required every day to navigate the world. Much of the dialogue focused on the importance of visibility, noting how the disabled community was institutionalized during the Industrial Revolution, and the importance of listening to disabled voices rather than speaking for them.
As Barbarin put it, "Disabled people are rarely seen as reliable narrators of their own stories and experiences, and so everybody else becomes an authority upon us, and it makes it so much harder to actually advocate for ourselves against the backdrop of a society that has stolen our voices from us."
