I really dont understand why @SignatureDeaf thinks it’s okay for a hearing person to talk in English about BSL and about Deaf people. Representation matters to signature? I think not.
My deepest condolences goes out to the family of Richard Taylor 🙏🏾 he was a great man & a dear friend. He always had such kind words of wisdom for me. I will miss him. May he rest in eternal peace and may he be reunited with Damilola in heaven 🙏🏾 ❤️
@MakatonCharity With respect, there is no such thing as ‘Makaton signing’. Makaton are loan words of BSL. You are borrowing BSL, which is a language, for your communication programme. That’s ok but please state that clearly. #SignLanguageWeek#BSLawareness

As a Black Deaf woman, I confront a multiple of challenges: financial strain, emotional turmoil, daily obstacles, healthcare issues due lack of Deaf awareness. Balancing the demands of motherhood and striving to maintain self-care
'BSL has been an oppressed language for a very long time and it is very important that we get this right'
Rebecca Mansell says there are not enough BSL teachers and adds that 'deaf teachers should take the lead'.
