What did you leave at home to come to work today? Six years of Inclusive AF guests answer in their own words: the hair they were told to cut, the pain a doctor didn't believe, the keys between their fingers on the walk to the car, and the small accommodations that would have changed everything.
Jackye Clayton and Katee Van Horn bring together Dr. Carol Parker Walsh, Shalita Grant, Beth Ridley, Dr. Raymona Lawrence, Nico Santos, Eric M. Bailey, Dr. Rebecca Eldredge, Jessica Miller-Merrell, Shannon Lucas, Meaghan Walls, Ramon Santillian and Lindiwe Davis on hair bias, weight bias, medical bias, women's safety, burnout and workplace accommodations.
