**Description:** Web accessibility isn’t just for specialists and advocates anymore; and you don't have to be one to make a difference. In this talk, Tremaine McKinley will share his journey as a daily user of web accessibility tools and why it's becoming a non-negotiable skill for modern developers and designers. We'll demystify web accessibility, explore some tools and best practices that make a real impact, and get hands-on with live demos to show how you can start building a more inclusive web right now. **Q&A to follow.**
