Nefertiti Matos Olivares Workflow Manager, Descriptive Video Works

I am a blind bilingual Latina deeply committed to ensuring that culture is a shared space for all, a fervent advocate for disability inclusion, and a lover of documentary films. In my role as Workflow Manager for Quality and Inclusion at Descriptive Video Works, I am dedicated to developing pathways and building frameworks for gainful employment of the blind and low vision community in the AD industry. A professional voice talent, you can hear my Audio Description narration in many independent films as well as on the Emmy-winning short My Disability Roadmap, Hot Docs Official Selection Unseen,, and Netflix’s Jennifer Lopez: Halftime. I am particularly passionate about creating culturally competent Audio Description. I am a member of the Social Audio Description Collective, co-host the Blind-Centered Audio Description Chat series, and I proudly run the Audio Description LinkedIn Group and the Audio Description X Community where all things AD are welcome.
