🎙️ Remarkable World Commentary Episode #94: Who is Being Left Behind? | By Donna J. Jodhan, LLB, ACSP, MBA | Courtesy of the PWD Media Co-Op https://donnajodhan.com/rwc-06-01-2026/ <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://donnajodhan.com/rwc-06-01-2026/&source=gmail&ust=1781131262539000&sa=E>
In this impassioned episode of Remarkable World Commentary, Donna J. Jodhan turns her attention to a question that recurs throughout the world of advocacy: who is being left behind? She identifies three groups bearing the brunt of rapid technological change, seniors who often cannot afford up-to-date devices or keep pace with shifting tools, persons with disabilities who are shut out by apps and websites built without accessibility features, and the technically challenged who never grew up with technology and now struggle to keep up. Donna argues that inaccessible apps and websites are not a neutral inconvenience but an active form of exclusion, and she presses companies to actually sit down with these communities to understand why they feel left out, reminding her audience that seniors in particular are bread-and-butter consumers too easily ignored.
She closes with her monthly highlight of a stressful life circumstance, this month focusing on the experience of losing one’s home, whether through financial hardship or conflict with family or friends. Calling a home a person’s dynasty, the place where one resides, thinks, feels, and lives, Donna frames its loss as among the most distressing circumstances anyone can face.

🎙️ Remarkable World Commentary Episode #95: Ask Advocate Donna | By Donna J. Jodhan, LLB, ACSP, MBA | Courtesy of the PWD Media Co-Op https://donnajodhan.com/rwc-06-02-2026/ <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://donnajodhan.com/rwc-06-02-2026/&source=gmail&ust=1781132270374000&sa=E>
In this instructive episode of Remarkable World Commentary, Donna J. Jodhan presents her recurring “Ask Advocate Donna” segment, opening with two reflective word-game pairings she invites listeners to ponder: defensive versus offensive, and sympathy versus empathy. She resists treating either as an either-or choice, arguing that a seasoned advocate must learn when each posture or response is appropriate rather than committing to one. She frames the whole episode with her guiding ethos, borrowed in spirit from a “let’s make it better than possible” sentiment, that advocacy means refusing to settle for merely acceptable outcomes.
The heart of the episode is three listener-submitted scenarios, each dissected through the same four-part lens of what advocacy is, who gets involved, why it is necessary, and how to begin. A woman using a wheelchair, Lucy, is turned away from a concert hall officials claim cannot accommodate her; a boy, Hamid, is denied entry to his condo pool because a lifeguard fears being unable to communicate with him in English; and a blind woman is told a call-center job was “just filled,” then bluntly informed she could not be hired because of her vision impairment, which Donna labels outright discrimination. For each, she models how the affected person and their allies can challenge the gatekeepers, question officials, and enlist support from advocacy organizations.
