Billions of digital images lack quality image descriptions, making them inaccessible to blind screen reader users. Describing digital images with representations of diverse identities, such as people of color, trans or gender nonconforming individuals, and people with disabilities, adds complexity for image description authors. This webinar provides basics of writing good image descriptions, examples, and guidelines for describing marginalized identities in alt text, with hands-on practice and interactive discussions.
