    Hello, I’m Anna-Karina Tabunar. A few years ago, I made a documentary called Talent Untapped. I met fascinating and inspiring people whose lives and careers were dramatically impacted by disability. I met Ahmed Abbukar who was struggling to get employers to see past his white cane. I spoke with Jan Wong – a provocative writer whose work triggered a clinical depression. I also shared my own experience with neurological illness.

    Well, a lot has happened – and changed – since I made Talent Untapped in 2016. We’re now at a fascinating intersection of a global pandemic, physical distancing and isolation, Black Lives Matter and racial justice. So now – in a new podcast – I’m catching up with Ahmed, Jan and the rest of the cast to find out how they’re managing. I think their stories can help us build stronger, more inclusive communities and workplaces. Join me for “More Talent Untapped”.
