“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

Powerful film written and produced by two incredible powerful Black deaf women, @Natasha_Ofili and @thestormysmith

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.

Mylo’s mysterious movie comes out May 22. He has kept it a secret for several months now. Here’s a hint: gamer @AtomicMari is in it, too!

Here I begin to describe my journey as a person with more than just one identity. Thank you @nowthisnews for the amazing opportunity to tell my story.

[melissa malzkuhn @mezmalz]

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.

[melissa malzkuhn @mezmalz]

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!!!

[Stormy @thestormysmith]

Yes!!

[Shoshannah Stern @Shoshannah7]

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!

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.

[Stormy @thestormysmith]

This is super AMAZING. I’m so proud of Sekoe and the team! This is too beautiful 🔥🔥🔥🔥
