Provide Luis with a job #225

Closed iadawn closed 2 years ago

iadawn commented 2 years ago

Luis and Noor need occupations; currently it feels out of place and, particularly for Luis, a bit degrading to just call them "basketball fan" and "teenager" rather than "reporter", "data entry clerk", or even "retiree". Even just saying "student" I think would work, or "non-profit volunteer" -- something that describes how they spend their day. I think it's fine to use leisure activities in the personas but (for whatever it's worth) the current strategy has seemed to value occupations in the descriptions so we don't want to reinforce stereotypes and, particularly for Down Syndrome, I fear this will give the wrong impression about capabilities.
