Raquel Quezada

Raquel Quezada is a community media professional connected to disability media advocacy and the broader access field through her work with Cambiando el Mundo de Personas con Discapacidad, bringing the intersection of disability rights and media access into the community television space. Her work connects local media access, community voice, cultural participation, and the practical systems that help residents and organizations use public media platforms to reach their communities.

In the Community Media Voices collection, she represents the broader layer of community media practitioners whose contributions helped local stories, civic information, and community expression reach the public, particularly for communities whose access to mainstream media has been shaped by systemic exclusion.

Her work reflects the disability media tradition within public access, where the channel's promise of open access has been most meaningful when stations actively removed the barriers that prevented disabled producers and communities from participating.
