Tiffany Yu joins Arthur on this new episode of Our View The Podcast. Tiffany is back for her second time on the podcast. On this episode she is celebrating the  paperback release of her book The Anti-Ableist Manifesto 

 

Inspired by the viral The Anti-Ableism Series on TikTok, The Anti-Ableist Manifesto is Diversability founder Tiffany Yu’s revelatory examination of disability for any ally to go beyond mere awareness to be an active anti-ableist and help form a more equitable society for all.

She started her career at Goldman Sachs and was named to the 2025 Forbes Accessibility 100 List.
