“The deaf community sees themselves as one world, one body, but there are so many subcultures and intersectionalities within that.” @Natasha_Ofili Thank you for this! @IamHaroldFoxx @thestormysmith & more #BlackLivesMatter https://t.co/CcO3x9vlFJ
Kudos to my Black Deaf sistahs @Natasha_Ofili + @thestormysmith for writing/producing this powerful video. As mbrs of the Black + the Deaf communities, #BlackLivesMatter to us just as much. We’re equally invested in the fight for justice. And, we too often ask ourselves #AmINext
Bringing this to light, we hope this will push the movement of change forward for absolute justice, action, unity, consciousness, and love in this country. At the end of this, we want to dismantle systematic racism for good. We are counting on you to make that happen #AmINext
#ShangChi starring Tony Leung, @awkwafina, @SimuLiu.
Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton.
As a kid, I couldn’t have even imagined a superhero movie with Asian leads. I can’t believe it’s really happening.
The movement is real. It’s not stopping. Representation matters today.
So excited to announce our inaugural screenwriting contest with @eastersealshq. We want to develop new deaf/hard of hearing voices in our community. If you are a D/HH writer between 18-25, or if you know of one, please encourage them to submit! Details attached, more to come!
Thank you @nowthisnews for this story, it’s authentic and beautiful. @LaurenRidloff is a long time respected & talented member of the Deaf community and I’m loving it that the world is now catching on.
Amazing news!! The truth to this- nothing beats open captioned experience at the movies. I’ve used all kinds of captioning devices (stands or glasses) and they never feel right. I’m always uncomfortable. Open captioned movies = equal access. Way to go Hawaii!!!
So excited to announce this initiative! @ItsJoshFeldman and I have been working on this for years now. Honored to have found the perfect partner for this in @EastersealSoCal. More information to come, stay tuned!

Thank you, Storm, for writing. Thank you, Tim, for posting: "Creating an Environment of Inclusion" by @BBDONY art director Storm Smith @MUSEbyclio@nudd "If work is not accessible, we cannot be inclusive" https://t.co/kIIHwx16aa
Can we talk about how @Disney added closed captions to #TheLionKing trailer. Seems like a small thing but means a lot for people that really need it. I wish every studio would do the same.
