Built Accessible, Made Impossible

from Underrepresented in Tech · host Michelle Frechette

What happens when something is built to be accessible, and then quietly becomes inaccessible again?In this episode, Michelle and Samah dive into real-life stories of how accessibility isn’t just about design, it’s about maintenance, awareness, and intention. From a curb cut blocked by a concrete barrier to delivery packages placed in the worst possible spot to event spaces that almost get it right, these everyday situations reveal a bigger issue. Accessibility isn’t a one-time checklist. It’s an ongoing responsibility.
