I went to workshop on 6th March which was a collaborative effort by Deafinately Theatre and Improbable. I decided to lead a discussion on how the arts can be more receptive towards Deaf People and here is the report we created #HappyDeafAwarenessWeek https://t.co/C1imPPvCgx
Such a moving conversation between these womxn. At a young age, women will experience feeling othered because of skin colour and it can be such a sensitive topic to unpack. What is the definition of black? How much does race form our identity? Does it form our identity? Mindblown
First session will be next Wednesday 6th July! Calling on all deafies - all abilities welcome. Sundays - families are welcome. Session are free. Check out the website https://t.co/jG9M2DHPPx
& you ask us why we talk about race and racism so much.... The whole world exploits Africa and Black people and even after hundreds of years and countless evidence you all act oblivious and tell us to keep calm....
Further to tweets over the weekend, the BDA have released a statement on “sign systems” and the oppression of British Sign Language (BSL).
BSL version of our statement:

Let's get the concept of our "interpreter footprint" back in circulation, shall we. Your choices affect your colleagues. Every low fee, job worked solo that shouldn't have been, unprofessional behaviour or poor decision affects the rest of the industry. We are not silos.
