In this episode, Jenna Udenberg — author, disability advocate, accessibility educator, and 2020 Bush Fellow — hares a deeply honest difficult conversation — a moment when, despite more than a decade of experience as a social advocate and educator, she made an off-hand comment that landed wrong. We unpack what happened next: owning the misstep, repairing trust, and why accountability doesn’t disappear just because you’re one of the goods guys.
Diagnosed with Juvenile Arthritis at just seven years old, Jenna has spent her life navigating systems that weren’t built with her in mind. Through her book, Within My Spokes, and her nonprofit, Above & Beyond With U, she works to break down barriers and create more accessible, human-centered spaces.
