Episode 82 - Meryl Evans, Accessibility Champion

Meryl Evans was born profoundly deaf, but that has never slowed her down or stopped her from making an impact as a renowned speaker, trainer, author, and accessibility consultant. A true champion of accessibility and inclusion, she is helping push progress in accessibility in education, marketing, advocacy, and product development.

Meryl’s expertise helps organizations navigate the complexities of diversity, equity, and inclusion, ensuring they reach wider audiences, boost engagement, and foster a sense of belonging for everyone. Her dedication extends beyond her professional work—she’s a passionate volunteer and board member, recognized as one of the 50 Leading Women by the Plano Chamber of Commerce and honored by the North Texas Disability Chamber with an award named after her.

As a sought-after speaker, Meryl has graced stages at LinkedIn, TEDx, and South by Southwest, and her insights have been featured in The Wall Street Journal, Morning Brew, AdWeek, AdAge, and The Dallas Morning News.

When she’s not advocating for accessibility, this proud Texan might be found immersed in a crochet project or rehearsing for a community theatre show.
