Its ok for interpreters to have an ASL accent. When your accent affects comprehension, seek a mentor for advice. #iamleverage
Impersonation can affect comprehension. Carol asks interpreters to be themselves instead of trying to be like a Deaf person. #iamleverage
Carol Padden: Accents in ASL are defined by a quality of movement, handshape, contact, location, and prosody. #iamleverage
Remember we can't interpret without our SELF. MY; Identity, privilege, language, ME. @RobertGLeeUK. #iamleverage
CarolP: Accents are not always expressed while signing, but what you do in between signs. #iamleverage
We all have the responsibility to "welcome" someone who is different than into our world, learn, grow together. @angelarothASL #iamleverage
Eileen: Using Deaf Interpreter forces the use of consecutive interpreting - better match to #Deaf culture's conversation pace. #iamleverage

MJ: StreetLeverage has been an amazing time to unpack our baggage and navigate change. #iamchange #iamleverage
MJ: @RID_Inc certification is the beginning of the road. Not a road to a #bilingualism. #iamleverage
MJ and audience agree: @RID_Inc conference and events should be 100% ASL with no voice interpretation. #iamleverage
CB: We see...past...future...same problem.Now where?How to change?Whats missing is #DEAFHEART.Bring all to table for discussion #iamleverage
Audience comment: "StreetLeverage is the first conference I've attended when I actually FORGET to get my CEU credits." #iamleverage
MJ again harps the point: interpreter training programs need to focus on quality vs. quantity of students. #iamleverage
bilingual interpreters don't know what they don't know and are confident enough to admit they need support of native ASL user. #iamleverage
