I feel really honored to work with her every day. She wrote a phenomenal book called Mismatch: How Inclusion Shapes Design, which is one of my favorite books on my bookshelf. She has an incredible history of inclusive design expertise. I've had the pleasure of working with her for about the past year, because she joined Salesforce as a VP of user experience, I think, in March of 2020. Stupendous Salesforce, but yeah, Kat is truly stupendous. It's because, well, I just can't help but be stupendous. It isn't, but this week, we've got two Salesforce people on it because you've got me, and we've got our illustrious guest, Kat Holmes. The podcast isn't even sponsored by Salesforce, wink, wink. Will, I can't think of any word other than excited. I always say I'm excited about these interviews.
We got one of your colleagues on the podcast today. More to come on that front, but I just wanted to make sure everyone got the news about these wonderful announcements and more. That means anyone in the UK can now use Be My Eyes for video support with home COVID testing. If you're in the United Kingdom, our at-home COVID testing support line is off the ground with the department of health and social care in the UK. They have companies all over the world committed to listing jobs that blind people can apply for.Įven better than that, they've committed to interviewing the top blind candidates for each. They're also answering calls on Be My Eyes to help you find the job that's right for you. This week, we're super excited to share that Verizon is now on Be My Eyes, so if you're a Be My Eyes user, you can now call up Verizon to get support with accessibility features as well as jobs for Humanity who just launched their new job board at blind.jobs. The other cool thing I wanted to share today is all of the new companies that are coming on to the Be My Eyes app to provide specialized video support to our blind community. Well, not printed, but you know what I mean, for every single episode of 13 Letters, so thank you, Diamond, for your sponsorship. They are the ones who make sure that transcripts are printed. If you look at their website, it says Diamond is an inclusive digital agency specializing in scalable, accessible and high-performance web and mobile applications, but they're really so much more than that.
The first thing is to give a huge thank you to our long time transcript sponsor, Diamond. Before we get to today's episode, we have a couple quick announcements. Hello, everyone, and thanks for listening to 13 Letters.
