Like we have shared before- Spelling to Communicate (S2C) has taken the world by storm! We’ve heard from a guest who is a speller, a mother’s perspective on how life-changing S2C has been for her son and their family, and NOW we have the woman who started it ALL on this week’s Episode 199 of The Hidden Workforce!

From there, Elizabeth spent twelve years as an Assistant Professor at The George Washington University teaching more than twenty different courses to undergraduate and graduate students in both Speech and Hearing Sciences and the Graduate School of Education and Human Development... She opened Growing Kids Therapy Center (GKTC) in Herndon, Virginia. In 2013, she began using Assistive Technology to educate and teach students the purposeful motor skills to Spell to Communicate (S2C)...” (from https://tacanow.org/biography/elizabeth-vosseller/ bio).

We have a show that will make you laugh, hopefully not cry (unless it’s tears from being moved by an amazing story!), but it will definitely empower you on Episode 198 of The Hidden Workforce!

Welcome Indie Film Producer, Comedian, and Actress- Sydney Alison!

Sydney is famous for her “Sit Down” comedy sets and she currently works with Kirkpatrick Kinslow Productions on projects of all types from documentaries to short films and more! She has been on the team of helping produce several films and documentaries, freelance produces and collaborates with local filmmakers, and when she isn’t busy with all that- you can find her throughout Tulsa’s comedy and acting scene!

Sydney graduated from the University of Tulsa’s School of Film and shares with us her journey of accomplishing where she is today as a producer, comedian, and actress- the more she dreams to accomplish in her career, as a wheelchair user- how she brings an important mission, message, and perspective of inclusion and accessibility into her work, and more!

You don’t want to miss this powerful show!
