Alt Text: A promotional image for the “Web Accessibility Study Group” Info Session. The top portion of the image displays a graphic styled like a computer window with bold text reading “Info Session.” Below, the text invites viewers to “Join us live to learn about upcoming study topics, group projects and our new Discord server for accessibility resources!” The session is scheduled for “Thursday, January 16th at 4 PM EST” with the link “twitch.tv/africakenyah” shown. In the lower part of the image, two women are seated at a table. The woman on the left has long blonde hair, is wearing dark sunglasses, and is smiling broadly. A black guide dog is sitting in front of her, wearing a harness. The woman on the right has dark curly hair, is smiling, and holding a pen. A microphone with a colorful windscreen is placed on the table near her. The background shows a cozy room with rustic decor, including a textured wall, a red cushioned bench, a wooden table, dried flowers, and decorative items like cups and bowls arranged on the table. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. The image is a flyer or promotional material for a “Monthly Web Accessibility Study Group” stream schedule. It outlines sessions from January to May, highlighting topics like Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), accessibility testing, and issue remediation. Key details include: • Regular sessions take place every 2nd Thursday at 4 PM EST on Twitch (twitch.tv/africakenyah). • Notable guest speakers include Florian Beijers and Homer Gaines, who are experts in software engineering and front-end development, respectively. • Sessions cover both automated and manual accessibility testing, and there is a “Super Review” for Web Accessibility Specialists in May. • There’s also a focus on learning about the updated WCAG 2.2 guidelines. It’s designed to welcome participants to learn, network, and stay informed about accessibility updates and practices.

Currently testing some web apps for section 508 accessibility compliance.
MewTwo is my co tester today and he wants y'all to know that everyone who think about making their apps better for people with disabilities (which makes it better in general for all) gets a treat!

My pfp is from 2.5 years ago when I first started sharing my web accessibility journey publicly.
This is now. Same face, longer hair, a lil more tired. Still trying to share free #a11y knowledge so we can all equally troll the web.
