Accessible communication with Josélia Neves

Josélia’s name came up when I was doing some research about an upcoming episode on audio description. That episode is coming soon, but when I discovered all the other things that Josélia is doing, I decided it would be good to have a conversation with her on her own so that we could explore her work in more depth.
