I was invited to take part in the wonderful HOPE (Hackers On Planet Earth) conference in 2024.

HOPE XV was a unique opportunity for hackers from all over the globe to convene in New York City to share our collective passion for opensource access to technology.  Talks had a wide variety of subjects, from the history of hackerspaces, to election voting machine hacking, and even how Big Tech works with the pornography industry to hack us!


In my talk, I shared about how I was able to utilize new legislation to access parts for my wheelchair.  A big thanks to WHILL for working with my requests and being so generous in their response <3
