Receiving the ‘Young Person Award’ runner up at the @royal_deaf awards back in 2016 was one of my proudest moments! @helenlederer presenting the award made it even more special! • Receiving an award like this always reminds me of the reason I continue blogging and motivates me to keep doing it! It’s a lovely feeling knowing that people are getting something out of the blogs... Whether it’s finding solutions to barriers they come across, to realising they’re not alone with their hearing loss and also inspiring others raise Deaf awareness. • What inspires you? • #Deaf #hearingloss #awards #royaldeaf #proud #helenlederer #deafawards #ceremony #throwback #memories #deafculture #deafcommunity #deafiscool #hearinglosswontstopme

One misconception is that Deaf people can’t listen to music... of course we can! I love my music. There’s something about song lyrics relating to my life. I find it empowering and motivating listening to these songs, especially ones like ‘This is Me’ from @greatestshowman ... • 🎶’When the sharpest words wanna cut me down I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out I am brave, I am bruised I am who I'm meant to be, this is me Look out 'cause here I come And I'm marching on to the beat I drum I'm not scared to be seen I make no apologies, this is me’🎶 • #Deaf #HearingLoss #proud #deafandproud #hearinglosswontstopme #music #deafawareness #disabilityawareness #lovemusic #greatestshowman #thisisme #deafiscool #deafness #deafworld #deafculture #deafcommunity

COMPETITION TIME! 🎉📣 • To celebrate Todd Haynes’ new film #WONDERSTRUCK release in UK cinemas tomorrow, there’s a fantastic bundle to giveaway to a lucky winner! • Head over to my Twitter @deafieblogger for a chance to win the film poster, a copy of the book and copies of ‘Carol’ and ‘Room’ on DVD! • #GoodLuck #CompetitionTime #wonderstruck #competition #giveaway #enter #twitter #pleaseshare #deaf #hearingloss #signlanguage

A lovely surprise delivery from @virginmoney as a thank you for doing my Deaf Awareness talks! I’m so glad they all enjoyed it and it definitely motivates me to continue raising awareness. It’s really thank you to them for giving me the fantastic opportunity! • #DeafAwareness #virginmoney #bank #awareness #thankyou #flowers #pretty #deaf #hearingloss #hearinglosswontstopme #raisingawareness #deafculture #deafworld #deafcommunity #deafiscool

As some of you may know, I am campaigning for more subtitled cinema showings in the UK... I thought I’d let you in on my little plan! • Over this past month, I’ve been gathering evidence of the amount of subtitled cinema showings compared to normal showings in my local area. Once I have a month’s worth of numbers, I’ll work out percentages of subtitled showings and create a report with some of the most interesting findings to present to the cinemas. • If anyone would be up for doing the same in your local area, I’d really appreciate it and can send a template! • I’ve also created a Subtitled Cinema Survey to gather peoples views on subtitles. One for D/deaf people and one for Hearing people to complete. If you’d like to participate, please visit my Facebook or Twitter page @deafieblogger for the links! The more the better! • I have also written draft letters and emails to my local cinemas with requests for more reasonable subtitled cinema showings and to meet with Managers to see if we can work together to come up with a solution. • Finally, my petition has reached 4000 signatures! Thank you! If you haven’t signed and would like to, the link is in my bio! • I’m determined to make a change for you all and in the words of @ollymurs song.. I won’t give up without a fiiiight! • #SubtitledCinema #moresubtitles #Deaf #Hearingloss #hardofhearing #hearinglosswontstopme #campaign #subtitles #captions #plan #deafiscool #iwontgiveup #deafpower #deafculture #deafworld #deafcommunity #cinemas #odeon #vue #cineworld

It's Sign Language Week! I'm proud of Sign Language as I passed my BSL Level 1! Also that I can communicate with my Deaf friends, meeting Deaf people, it's a beautiful language! • Share what makes you proud of British Sign Language... • Transcript: Hello, you alright? This week it's Sign Language Week. I'm proud of Sign Language because I passed my BSL Level 1! I'm proud to communicate with my Deaf friends, meeting Deaf people. It's a beautiful language! • @britishdeafassociation • #SignLanguageWeek #BritishSignLanguage #SignLanguage #pride #proud #deaf #hearingloss #deafness #deafculture #deafcommunity #deafiscool #hearinglosswontstopme

I can't begin to thank my Mum for everything she's done for me. She's always there whenever I need to talk, whatever obstacles life throws at me, she's first to join in the fight! She's my inspiration! Happy Mother's Day! • #happymothersday #mum #inspiration #thankyou #love #mother #mothersday #smiles #memories #deaf #hearingloss #hearinglosswontstopme

What a week for the Deaf Community! The best news of all... The @silent_child_film won an OSCAR! • I was so lucky to be invited on Radio @bbc5live on Monday to chat about the film and how the film highlights the issues and barriers that Deaf people face with access to communication. It was nerve-wracking chatting live to the whole country but I really enjoyed it! • Having supported The Silent Child film from Day 1 through my blogs, I never dreamt that they would become Oscar winners! It’s definitely the kind of recognition the Deaf community needs and Maisie is a shining example of #DeafTalent! She’ll be the next @themarleematlin ! I’m so proud of Maisie, @rachelshenton , Chris Overton and the team and I’m so lucky to have met them! Who knows what it will bring! • #Deaf #hearingloss #thesilentchild #thesilentchildoscars90 #oscars #oscars2018 #radio5 #bbcradio5 #bbc5live #deafculture #deafcommunity #deafawareness #signlanguage #proudtobedeaf #deafiscool #hearinglosswontstopme

Today is World Hearing Day... according to @who “Millions of people around the world have hearing loss that could be treated or prevented”, and “younger generations are at more risk of noise exposure from loud entertainment and audio devices”. • There may be some technological solutions for hearing loss, but it’s important to put in effective measures to prevent hearing loss in the first place! Like wearing earbuds at concerts and not playing music into your ears excessively. It may not be ‘cool’ but it’s better than losing your hearing! • Remember to protect those precious ears! ❤️👂🏻❤️ • #WorldHearingDay #hearingloss #deaf #hearingaids #hearinglossprevention #noise #hearinglosswontstopme #deafness #snow #winter
