Debra: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! Billion Strong, an initiative by Ruh Global IMPACT, aims to empower people with disabilities to embrace their identities and become discoverable. Many individuals with hidden disabilities fear discrimination, but by fostering a global community across 98 countries, Billion Strong encourages persons with disabilities (PWD) to unite, share their experiences, and bridge the understanding gap, enabling meaningful inclusion in corporations and education systems.
