Mary Vargas talks about culture misconceptions about having a disabiliity...a major life impairment. She wants everyone to know they have a right to equal access. How to create a safe, inclusive and "like" food and beverage experience? It does mean someone sits a room with nothing to eat while everyone else eats.
