Imani Barbarin Speaking Topics

LIVING, WORKING AND THRIVING WITH CHRONIC ILLNESS

In a world built on ableism and setup for a very specific type of person to thrive and win, what does work look like when brands and individuals make space for the entire human experience? Imani explores the realities of navigating work while living with a chronic illness and/or a disability, how to advocate for yourself while achieving your work goals and how companies can create a work environment that supports every body.
ABLEDS ARE WEIRD

In this talk, Imani recounts her personal experiences with ableist microaggressions and how those interactions informed her of how she was seen as a disabled person moving through society. Connect the dots from everyday interactions to public policy and how one may unlearn these biases.

THINGS DISABLED PEOPLE KNOW

Imani created the tag #ThingsDisabledPeopleKnow to explore media representations of disabled people they often don’t have in making. Stereotypes form that disabled people have to live by and for accurate representation, disabled people must be involved in every level of media and entertainment production. There is no substitute for the things disabled people know.

PATIENTS ARE NOT FAKING

In response to a viral video poking fun at patients, Imani started this hashtag to address the many ways in which medical professionals discount their patients and put them in harm’s way. This is especially true of black and disabled people for whom access to care is difficult and when they are able to receive it, they are often not believed by providers. Imani discusses her own story in medicine and challenges the non-disabled people to hold providers and themselves accountable.
