We are a world of many races, colors, abilities, and cultures, and this is something to celebrate.

If you own a physical storefront or retail space, consider ways to make your space more accessible; get a StopGap<\/a> or accessibility ramp, add braille to your signage, hire folks who can speak with sign language.<\/p>\n Your customers will be over the moon to see more of them reflected in your brand.<\/p>\n A great way to elevate your brand in 2024 is by doing away with perfectly photoshopped and curated images.
