ADA:33 - A Celebration of Rights and Responsibilities
Listen to an audio podcast of this program.
Reyma McCoy Hyten discusses how, historically, access to initiatives intended to center people with disabilities has unintentionally created disparities for multiply-marginalized members of the disability community. The program offers an opportunity to discuss how access to necessities like food, housing, healthcare, and transportation are impacted by the degree of underrepresentation an individual experiences and explore systems-based solutions that can create a more inclusive society.
Reyma McCoy Hyten, the first Black woman to serve as the US Department of Health and Human Services Commissioner for the Administration on Disabilities, is now devoting her full time and attention to supporting the creation of just, verdant, and sustainable communities for all in the United States and beyond. McCoy Hyten was an Antibigotry Convening Fellow with the Center for Antiracist Research at Boston University and is a past recipient of a 2019 AT&T Humanity of Connection award. Her work has been featured in Vice, TIME, The Guardian, and USA Today.
McCoy Hyten lives at MisFit Farm, an organic garden and sanctuary for unwanted creatures in rural Kansas, with her wife, Ami; their daughter, numerous cats, waterfowl, and a deafblind albino Great Dane named Rufus.
This presentation is sponsored by the City of Iowa City's Office of Equity and Human Rights.
