Haben Girma: Why I Never Tell People With Disabilities to "Just Work Harder"
"We shouldn't have hired you." The manager's words sent chills down my spine. When I flew to Juneau, Alaska, after my second year of college, I thought I had this cool job leading tours of the Capitol Building. The recruiters knew about my deafness. My public speaking skills impressed them, and we agreed I would receive questions and comments during the tours through my assistive technology. They knew about my racial status. I checked the box for African American on the application. There was just one thing they didn't know until I arrived at the Capitol. When I walked in for orientation with the other new hires, the manager pulled me aside.
The manager's cramped office felt suffocating. I sat up straight in my chair. "Are you telling me to leave because I'm blind?"
"No. It's because you're from California. These jobs are supposed to go to Alaskan residents."
My stomach dropped. For a moment I just sat there, speechless. "The paperwork showed that I'm from California. We even did the interview over the phone because I don't live here. You've known that for weeks. Why did you hire me if the position was only for Alaskans?"
"We made a mistake. I'm sorry."
Outside, a light rain drizzled over Juneau. People didn't come for the persistent precipitation. People traveled to the city for spectacular scenery, wildlife sightings, and chance to witness the majesty of Mendenhall Glacier. I hiked alongside waterfalls and dipped my toes in glacier water during my first trip. This time I hoped to fit in and find a job like all the other college kids. After the government, the tourism industry is the second largest employer in Juneau. With over a million tourists, about half of them arriving on cruise ships, many employers turn to the lower 48 to try to fill their many Summer openings.
Openings popped up on Craigslist every day. I sent out dozens of applications, focusing on those that matched my strengths in public speaking. Since helping to build a school in Mali, I'd logged in numerous hours speaking to audiences big and small. My experience impressed the Capitol Building recruiters enough to choose me over Alaskans, at least until I walked in with a white cane. The applications led to interviews, the interviews led to rejections. Back on Craigslist, I broadened my search, responding to ads that sought people with strong reading, writing, or analytical skills. The pattern continued: submit an application, brave an interview, then face a rejection. I changed my strategy, responding to nearly all the ads: shelving gift stores, baking cakes, folding laundry in hotels. Rejection. Rejection. Rejection.
When you do everything right and society stomps on you, over and over, it creates a piercing, gut-twisting pain. It causes you to question the conventional wisdom that a person who works hard will overcome all obstacles.
Unemployment rates for people with disabilities are about double general unemployment rates - 9.2 percent compared to 4.2 percent. For blind people, the unemployment rate is around 70 percent. Disability professionals warned me: work hard or you'll never find employment. So I studied hard in school, graduating high school as valedictorian. I spent a Summer at an independence training center for the blind, learning nonvisual techniques for everything from crossing busy streets to using a radial arm saw. I volunteered, both in my community and abroad. The statistic still managed to claim me, leaving me jobless in Jobville, Alaska.
Changing strategies, I reached out to my community for help. My friend's mom recommended me to Rachel, the manager of a local gym. Rachel reviewed my résumé, interviewed me, and hired me as a part-time front desk clerk. On our tour of the gym, Rachel taught me how to use the machines, clean up the changing rooms, and manage the cash register and merchandise. Rachel turned out to be a fantastic manager. My white cane didn't faze her. Whether I used sight or a nonvisual technique was less important than whether I got the job done.
One day a woman walked up to the front desk. "Hi, I'm trying to use a treadmill but it's not working."
"I'll take a look. Which one?" I followed her to a row of treadmills. She stopped by the second machine. Setting my cane down, I stepped up to the machine and pressed the on button. Nothing. I tried the other buttons on the panel. Nothing. Using both hands, I systematically searched the machine from top to bottom. Along the base I found a switch. When I flicked it, the treadmill whirred to life.
"Oh my god, thank you! That was amazing. I didn't even see that switch."
"I didn't either." My cathartic laughter got her laughing, too. Sometimes nonvisual techniques beat visual techniques.
At the end of the Summer, I returned to college with a new outlook on work. I believe in working hard, but I put more emphasis on working smart. When we feel we've hit a wall, it's better to develop a new strategy rather than struggling at the same wall. I went on to graduate with honors from Lewis & Clark College, study law at Harvard, and partnered with a Seeing Eye dog. Now I'm my own boss, working as a disability rights lawyer, author, and public speaker. In 2015, I introduced President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden at the White House's 25th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This Summer, I spoke at the Berlin Morals and Machines conference and met with Chancellor Angela Merkel.
Employment discrimination and high unemployment rates still haunt people with disabilities. Many work hard, develop impressive skills, and continually face discrimination in the hiring process. Hard work alone will not overcome the widespread discrimination against people with disabilities. Employers need to break down disability barriers. People with disabilities succeed when communities choose to be inclusive. The biggest barriers exist not in the person, but in the social, physical, and digital environments.
Employers that break down access barriers develop a stronger workforce. Numbering over 1.3 billion worldwide, people with disabilities are the largest minority group. Employers are missing out on numerous talented, responsible, and driven workers. Avoid assumptions about what people with disabilities can or can't do. People with disabilities often have alternative techniques that get the job done. The process of developing these alternative techniques leads to strong problem solving skills, fresh insights, and exciting new solutions. People with disabilities drive innovation, sparking the creation of many of the technologies we use today. Employers seeking a competitive advantage should invest in accessibility. These employers gain access to a large pool of talented workers, benefit from increased growth, and facilitate further innovation.

Nothing Says Fall Like a Weekend in a Cozy Barn, So Book 1 of These!
Fall is here and with the change of seasons comes cool, crisp air and the desire to snuggle up with your family, your significant other, or even your pet.

Lady Gaga's Marc Jacobs Suit Takes Extreme Tailoring to Stylish New Levels
Lady Gaga just made her second appearance in as many weeks dressed in a fresh-off-the-runway Marc Jacobs Spring 2019 look, and this time around, we were not distracted by her shoes. Instead, we were wowed by how the singer, actress, and future Oscar winner (just you wait) managed to make an oversize outfit look like it was tailored precisely for her.
Gaga's pantsuit, which she wore to the Elle Women in Hollywood celebration, may have been designed with exaggerated proportions, but it fit her where it mattered. The hems skimmed the floor effortlessly, the plunging neckline added a little sex appeal, and the shoulders sat where shoulders are meant to sit. But that aside, it was all about volume. Gaga even managed to emphasize this by hooking her hands into her pockets under the jacket, giving the impression of even more dramatic draping at the sides. Teamed with slicked-back hair in a center part and smoky, contoured makeup that'd make a Kardashian jealous, Gaga made this look her own.
Keep reading to see the look from all angles, capped off with custom Giuseppe Zanotti booties, get details on how she confirmed her engagement to Christian Carino at the event, then look back at another of Lady Gaga's recent fashion moments, when she swapped outfits four times in one night.
Meghan Markle, Supportive BFF, Wore a Serena Williams Jacket During Her Royal Tour
Even continents away, Meghan Markle is giving a stylish nod to her close friend Serena Williams. During her royal tour stop in Dubbo, Australia, with husband Prince Harry, the Duchess of Sussex gave her BFF a subtle shout-out by choosing outerwear from Serena's own fashion line.
After stunning the day before in two beautiful dresses, Meghan decided to shake things up for her second day of the tour, opting for a crisp white Maison Kitsuné blouse ($219) and Outland denim ($195) to go with her Serena Williams Collection blazer ($145).
She tied the whole look together with a rare ponytail, jewelry from Sydney-based designer Natalie Marie - the Precious Initial Necklace ($357) and Diamond Sun Studs ($1,750), to be exact - and black J.Crew ankle boots ($178). Check out more snaps of Meghan's look ahead - we're anxiously awaiting what she'll wear next!

It's Not a Rule, but Royals Usually Don't Hold Hands Due to This 1 Important Reason
Along with shutting their own car doors, holding hands is one of those activities that royals purportedly should not engage in, but that is more of an unspoken expectation than an actual royal protocol. PDA in general is considered uncouth among the royals, and even though it's clear that there is affection between Prince William and Kate Middleton, you'll rarely see the two cuddling up in public. There are exceptions, of course, such as at Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank's wedding, but largely William and Kate leave the PDA to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who are never shy about showing off their love.
Like most standards of behavior, royals generally follow the example of the Queen. As Queen Elizabeth II rarely held Prince Philip's hand on public engagements, this has become the unwritten precedent for other royals as well. But while Harry and Meghan's loud-and-proud love for each other is a rare display for royal appearances, it certainly doesn't go against any official rules, and is even considered refreshingly modern by most. According to royal etiquette expert Myka Meier (who spoke to People), "There is no protocol that says [Harry and Meghan] cannot show affection on official engagements, and this gesture makes them relatable and lovable to the public."
Instead of a set rule, the affection shared between royal couples during official outings really just depends on the nature of the event and the preference of the couple. So Harry and Meghan, it's totally fine if you keep showering each other with love (especially given Meghan's exciting baby news!). Check out the gallery to see some of our favorite hand-holding moments among royal couples.
Want to Scar Trick-or-Treaters For Life? Here's How to Dress Up as Pennywise the Clown
The It reboot was 2017's biggest horror movie, which means you're still going to see plenty of terrifying Pennywise the clowns running around on Halloween this year. While the thought of opening your door to trick-or-treaters dressed as the horrifying evil entity from Stephen King's beloved story might make you want to run and hide, we have a proposition for you: if you can't beat the clowns, why not join the clowns?
Of all the recent buzzy pop culture Halloween costumes out there, Pennywise is actually one of the easiest to pull off. Sure, his white and silver clown suit might seem elaborate at first glance, but the trick to freaking everyone out with your costume is all in the makeup. If you can properly paint your face to match Pennywise's and get a red wig or temporary red hair dye, people will barely notice anything under your chin, trust us.
What to wear: The key to Pennywise's outfit is keeping things relatively monochromatic (in this case, either silver or white). Pair silver or white leggings with a ruffled, long-sleeved shirt or dress (you can always spray paint it silver), and glue three red pom-poms down the front. Wear white, black, or red boots, and glue a red pom-pom to the toe of each. Finish it off with a pair of white or silver gloves, white face paint, a red wig, and red lipstick that you draw in two lines all the way up through your eyebrows.
What to bring: A red balloon on a string, and maybe a newspaper sailboat with the name "S.S. Georgie" written on the side in black marker.
How to act, if you're going method with it: Deranged, and hungry for children. Speak in a high-pitched sing-song voice, and feel free to break into a crazy dance if the mood strikes you.
Meghan Markle Doesn't Get a Salary - Here's What She Has Instead
When Princess Eugenie of York married Jack Brooksbank on Oct. 12, a lot of commentary was made on the the idea of Princess Eugenie as a "nonworking" royal - that is, one who has a real job in the real world rather than carrying out royal duties full-time. And it's not just Eugenie (whose job is as a director of an art gallery): many of the lower-ranked royals hold full-time jobs. Her sister Princess Beatrice, for instance, works in the business world for software company Afiniti, and her cousin Peter Philips (son of Princess Anne), is the managing director for Sports Entertainment Limited. But top-tier royals don't hold full-time "real" jobs - as Meghan Markle found out when she married Prince Harry and had to give up her acting career. Without a normal job, how does the duchess make money now?
While the Duchess of Sussex doesn't officially draw a salary or allowance of her own, she's pretty well covered by the royal family. Her expenses, along with those of her husband and of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, are generally covered by taxpayer dollars and income from Harry's father's holdings of the Duchy of Cornwall. After Prince Charles pays his voluntary taxes on the duchy's revenue, the remaining funds help support him and his children. Prince Harry also receives a significant annual allowance from the estate of his late mother, and we imagine Meghan's lifestyle is also funded by this income. In return, she - and the other royals - are expected to carry out a full-time load of royal duties, from charity work to touring engagements and more.
Meghan is not drawing a salary now, but she used to, and those checks are still coming in. Although she was written off of Suits following her engagement, episodes featuring her character still air in syndication, so she pulls in residuals from that. She also recently sold her previous home in Toronto for a cool $1.6 million, so while she might have been a "commoner" prior to her marriage, she most certainly was not a pauper.
41 Celebrity Costumes You Can Actually Copy
Elaborate Halloween costumes à la Heidi Klum can be fun, but they require a whole lot of effort to actually pull off. Sometimes (like when it's Oct. 30 and you have nothing planned!) going with a look that can be put together with items already hanging in your closet or parts that are easy to find at a thrift shop makes more sense. Celebrities themselves have often taken the easier approach, and we've rounded up their simple dress-up ideas to serve as your inspiration!
Meghan Markle Ditched Her Signature Messy Bun For a Rare Ponytail While on the Royal Tour
Meghan Markle's showing off a whole spectrum of looks while on her 16-day royal tour of the South Pacific with Prince Harry. All eyes have been on the couple since their exciting pregnancy announcement, and Markle's given fans even more to talk about with her fashion picks and beauty looks during the trip.
The Duchess of Sussex is typically known for wearing her hair in a sophisticated bun (she even wore one on her wedding day!), but during the royals' stop in Dubbo, Australia, she decided to shake things up and opted for a polished ponytail instead. Since becoming duchess, Markle has rarely worn her hair in this style. Instead, she'll choose a bun or take a note from sister-in-law Kate Middleton's book and wear it blown out.
This rare ponytail pick may be a step in a new beauty direction for Markle. After all, she recently made another sleek styling choice and straightened her hair for the first time as a royal. Ahead, see more snaps of her slicked-back royal outing updo. What beauty surprise does she have in store next?

Meghan Markle Traded Her Heels For These Flats, and We Couldn't Love Her More
After a day on duty touring Australia, Meghan Markle made just like the rest of us after a long day at work and traded her heels for a pair of walkable flats. She stepped out for her first appearance in a fitted white dress by Australian designer Karen Gee and a pair of Stuart Weitzman heels, but we spotted Meghan later ducking out of the event in a trench coat, aviator sunglasses, and black pointed-toe flats. That move? It's just so relatable. With just a glimpse of her, we could practically hear the sigh of relief - ahhhhh, the satisfaction that comes with kicking off your heels after hours on your feet.
With each and every outing, Meghan's proved she can navigate the royal dress code and then some. With this one look, she's paid tribute to an Australian designer, given a sweet nod to Diana with her jewelry, shown off her growing baby bump for the first time, and stayed cool and comfortable with a perfect shoe swap. Like Kate, she's already adept at making deliberate fashion choices that are still entirely approachable. What can't she do?
Meghan Markle Wore Princess Diana's Jewelry For Her First Outing After Pregnancy Announcement
It's quite a busy time for the Duchess of Sussex. On the heels of Meghan Markle's pregnancy announcement with husband Prince Harry, the pair stepped out in Australia on Oct. 15 to kick off their first royal tour as a married couple. Meghan chose a sophisticated Karen Gee dress for the occasion, fittingly called the "Blessed Dress," and gave a heartwarming nod to Princess Diana with her jewelry selection.
Zoom in on a picture of Meghan strolling through the Admiralty House in Sydney and you may notice her elegant gold and diamond butterfly earrings. This pair actually once belonged to Diana, who wore them back in 1986 during a visit to Canada. Meghan also wore a gold bracelet from Diana's personal collection - how sweet!
While Meghan sadly never had the chance to meet Harry's mom, they've kept her memory close throughout their relationship. Meghan's engagement ring famously features two diamonds from Diana's personal collection, and Harry claims if his wife and mother knew each other today, they'd be "thick as thieves." It's clear Diana's fashion picks have had an influence on Meghan - she even wore Diana's sapphire ring to her wedding reception. Ahead, see more snaps of Meghan's royally chic outfit and accessories. We can't wait to see what else she picks during her 16-day tour with Harry.
