In today’s episode of The Intersection Rewind, we revisit a powerful conversation with Emily Voorde, the founder and CEO of IntuStrategies, a consultancy dedicated to advancing disability inclusion. Emily's journey is a testament to the work being done to ensure that leadership spaces and organizations are accessible to individuals with disabilities.

Emily shares that “disability inclusion isn’t just about compliance or accommodations, it’s about creating an environment where everyone feels valued and empowered.”

We explore practical solutions for organizations to begin making meaningful changes, from revisiting hiring practices to offering training on how disability can be an asset in leadership. Emily also touches on the role of technology and innovation in creating accessible spaces for all employees.

If you’re ready to be part of the solution, this episode is a must-listen to better understand how to move beyond just compliance to a truly inclusive environment that values all abilities.

The wealth gap in America continues to widen, with systemic inequities disproportionately affecting communities of color. According to research, Black households hold just 12 cents for every dollar of white household wealth, while Latinx families hold only 21 cents for each dollar.

This economic inequality isn't accidental—it stems from decades of discriminatory policies, unequal access to capital, and systemic barriers to financial opportunity that persist today.

In this powerful conversation with Myah Irick, we dive deep into the root causes of economic disparity, examining how financial exclusion, lending discrimination, and limited access to capital have created generational wealth gaps across racial lines.

Our discussion explores practical solutions including innovative financial programs, community investment initiatives, and policy changes that can create pathways to economic mobility for underserved communities.

After listening, consider how you might contribute to creating more equitable financial systems in your own community.
