Adversity - a perspective from a deaf/hh person.

Here's my video blog discussing "adversity" and what it means to me. A chance for the Deaf community to see my side of my communication preference. This video is also a message of support to deaf and hard of hearing people, everybody. And a message of hope to parents of deaf/hh children as well that in life, anything is possible.

What is adversity?

It is not the same thing as overcoming oppression. It's about overcoming obstacles in life successfully. Here I produced a video blog about 3 years ago in the desert landscape of New Mexico to discuss adversity. My vlog was a message of support to the deaf and hard of hearing community, and parents of deaf or hard of hearing children. A message of choice, support, and respecting those who choose to communicate differently. A message about respect. Mocking those who choose to face adversity in a different way lack imagination. Reserve your judgement while you watch my 6 minute video. The video is subtitled. And there is no signing involved. I hope you enjoy my vlog.
