If you started it, you own it.
If you created it, you own it.
That’s YOUR work.
YOU MUST CLAIM THAT SHIT. YOU DON’T ASK FOR FUCKING PERMISSION!
That’s your superpower.

We have repeatedly asked the owner of Deaf Talent Collective @deafcollective to change their name. They are based in UK. They are not supposed to operate their business in the USA. It’s confusing with @DeafTalentMedia & @DeafTalent business operations. We have the trademarks.
In 2012 a brand was born. Little did we know how much if a huge positive impact it would have on us still to this day. The creator Jade Bryan have been pushing and elevating us to be our best. If you haven't noticed it all before then you need to notice it now!
Hey @tylerperry, remember this? We came down to your old studios in Atlanta during the summer of 2012. It was hot af! They told us you were out of town. But we showed up & showed out! 🔥💚🎬🎞🎥🎭 #DeafTalent®️ is thriving! #DeafTalentMovement@Oprah @ava @BETNETWORKS@IssaRae
I cannot for the life of me understand why it is so hard to realize that once something is legally taken why continue to use it if you're not the one that created it??? Or why is it hard to ask permission? If it was important you would have made it legal too 🤦♀️
Hello Toni, @deaftcollective founder. I have reached out to you & have yet received a response. I am using this platform to reach out. We are awaiting to learn whether you will change the name. @DeafTalentMedia has multiple trademarks & copyright & is a BIPOC platform & movement.

I don’t sugar coat shit.
I’m not Willina Wonka.
I’m Jade Bryan. If you’re intimidated by my blackness, the fuck you celebrating Black History Month for? Get used to it. 🤷🏽♀️🤘🏽✊🏽
This is regarding my hashtag trademark, #DeafTalent. I’m going to use Convo as a sample to educate people in our community, especially Deaf business owners or entrepreneurs. Just becuz they’re not using the pound # next to Deaf Talent, does not give them the right to exploit it .
Some history worth noting because there is a rise in BLACK DEAF/POC TALENT in film & television.
Here’s an old press release promoting the #DeafTalent movement, Kickstarter campaign, & my film, The Shattered Mind. You will see my goal/mission is the same but we have expanded (1)
