A Few Publishing Updates

There are a couple of new (and not so terribly new) articles out there on the WWW from me. Check them out:

First, there is an article I wrote a while back in regards to my partner, Nik’s trip to demonstrate the product that teaches kids with low vision and blindness coding, called Code Jumper, in Qatar. This was printed in the magazine Nafath, which is a publication of Mada, a digital access organization in Qatar.

Code Jumper: Paving the Way for Blind Students in STEM Fields (You may have to scroll to page 14.)

Also, in Medium, I have published a few articles.

How Lisa Shulman Taught Me to be a Master of Time

This is about my transition to kidney patient and how I continue to learn lessons from my late high school friend, Lisa.

Can I Explain Insidiousness to my Congressperson in 5 Minutes or Less?

This article illustrates my struggle of explaining the pervasiveness of oppressive and discriminatory aspects of digital accessibility, which is very hard for the non disabled to wrap their heads around in the first place.

In Defense of Dr. Google

I explain the history of my kidney disease and how I have learned (and am still learning) to be a strong and informed advocate for myself about my health.

That’s what has been up with my writing for the last few months. I am still working on more things to come.
