Terri-Karelle sits down with Sarah Minkara who is the Special Advisor on International Disability Rights. She's the highest-ranking officer on the issues of disability rights in the US State Department. On her special visit to Jamaica, Terri-Karelle sat down with her to discuss how we can move the conversations, get us acting and get us not only granting accessibility but empowering people with disabilities in Jamaica and around the world.
