For disabled people, inaccessibility is:
Not an inconvenience.
Not an accident.
Not just an obstacle.
Not just a barrier.
It is exclusion, isolation, segregation, devaluation and trauma.

I am not a data nerd but this #MicrosoftFabric thing is REALLY cool. My team has data in Excel, PowerBI & a bunch of places.
Wonderful to have a central place to be able to reason over it all and gain insights.
I think this will be an interesting use case for dyslexic people!
