How would you sum up 2020 in one word?
0:06
Chrissie: In one word?
0:07
Storm: [gives a little laugh]
0:10
first thought is s***show, but obviously I can’t say that.
0:12
Chrissie [gives a look of incredulity]
0:14
Storm: One word is “change.”
0:16
Tamon: The word that I would choose would be “courage.”
0:17
Chrissie: “Testing.”
0:20
Storm: And why did I pick the word “change”?
0:25
Honestly, the world and the people, including myself, we're not the same
0:29
in the last few months and not even from a year ago.
0:36
Our voices now are becoming more heard and louder, and the accountability is higher.
0:40
Chrissie: Testing of yourself, of your resilience,
0:46
of the pressure that you put on one another, and then showing up and delivering upon your promises.
0:48
Tamon: When you think
0:53
about businesses, both big and small, there was courageous steps that people had to take
0:59
on all fronts, sacrificing work, laying people off, making really, really difficult
1:02
decisions. I think it took a lot of courage from a lot of people to do what was right
1:10
for the health and safety of us as a society, but then also to do what's right by your family.
1:13
Storm: Oftentimes the stories with
1:18
people with disability, in terms of representation and inclusiveness, it comes from the lens of
1:25
fully abled and non-disabled people who are writing the stories about us. And it's time
1:31
for us to reclaim our own stories and, and convey that in advertising and television and media and
1:40
technology and in various industries, because the world is continuing to evolve as we know it.
1:42
Chrissie: This has been a year that has tested
1:49
organizations, that has tested processes, that has tested your individual level of grit.
1:54
And it has been tough and it will continue to be tough.
1:55
Tamon: It was a year that
2:02
took a lot of courage from, really, everybody to band together and do what needed to be done.
