This is RantWoman being a mentor for something called Young Quaker Voices, the Statewide Quaker lobby dear to RantWoman's heart partly because of a stint as recording clerk when RantWoman needed a project to help her get used to working with screen readers.


This year, RantWoman has been  working with a great young woman from Vancouver named Abby Griffiths. Abby heard about this because RantWoman sent this year's blurb to Anna Zivartz of the Disability Mobility project.

Tonight, Abby and Byrne, also from this cohort will giving short presentations on a Zoom event that starts at 7. You are welcome to join the Zoom event if you want to be able to ask questions directly. Or the event will be recorded and a link will be available later.


Here is the link to the event announcement on the Quaker Voice website.

Abby and RantWoman asked and the Quaker Voice webkeeper added ways easily to share on Twitter, Facebook, by email, and Pinterest. RantWoman tested Twitter and email and they work!


Partly in an effort to accommodate some sighted people's interest in visual aids here is the outline of Abby's presentation. RantWoman also needed to experiment with Google Pages It can be downloaded as Powerpoint or PDF

There are two pictures at the end. Google pages does not have a way to add alt text and RantWoman did not figure out how to do a caption for the last picture, some lovely newly leafed out trees especially for everyone not visiting the trees at Lazy F


Two somewhat contradictory instructions: about Zoom chat 

It's a GATHERING so of course everyone wants to chat with friends. Private chat happen. Please do not chat to Everyone until the end of Abby's presentation. Screen reader users have everything that comes through the chat read. This can be distracting if one is the presenter.


If you would like a copy of the presentation outline and have trouble navigating with the link, please leave a comment here OR send private chat to a cohost or to RantWoman who will identify herself during the zoom session. RantWoman is happy to email people a PDF she has tested for readability.
