@TeamYouTube We claimed the YouTube handle @AALB a long time ago, I went to transfer it to our main channel, and it is unable to be reclaimed. Upon contacting YouTube support, they falsely claimed that our account was never associated with that handle. We would appreciate help.

Thank you for your efforts. We would love to meet with you to discuss the advancement of health equity for those with language barriers.

Would this be possible?

"Abhaya Mudra — the gesture of fearlessness — the palm displayed with the fingers pointing to the sky. Indicates the practice of Ahimsa, or harmlessness to all beings in word, deed, and thought, granting to all beings the gift of freedom from fear."

International Day of #SignLanguages provides a unique opportunity to support and protect the linguistic identity and cultural diversity of all deaf people and other sign language users.

Empathy is the way forward!

September is Deaf Awareness Month!

In Deaf culture, a sign name is a unique way to identify someone without fingerspelling their name using sign language. The names reflect on the individual's character, looks, and others and it is generally devised by the Deaf person.

CEUs should never be about satisfying a requirement. For true professionals, constant education is not a formality; it's our way of life.
