Qudsiya Naqui talks about choosing SADC to describe her wedding album

For Disability Pride Month, Qudsiya Naqui did a guest takeover of Hitha Palepu’s newsletter, Only Smart Things, issue #187. She discusses finding love, encountering stigma and inaccessibility in planning her August 2023 wedding, and hiring Social Audio Description Collective to create an accessible wedding photo experience, complete with narrative image descriptions and an audio story of the wedding. Narration will be provided by non-SADC member Ramya Amuthan.
