INCIGHT’s mission has always been rooted in changing hearts and minds about how society views disability. Each year, INCIGHT Scholars exemplify this mission through their leadership, advocacy, and commitment to creating a more inclusive world. One remarkable example is Jada Yang, a sophomore at the University of California, Berkeley, who is quickly emerging as a powerful voice in disability rights and public policy.
