It’s Sign Language Week! Here’s why Sign Language is important and how you can learn! 🙌🏻 • Transcript: Hi! This week, it’s what? Sign Language Week! I started learning BSL, when? 3 years ago. Soon, Level 2 finish. Exciting! Sign Language is important. Why? 3 reasons. Firstly, Deaf children can access communication. Secondly, Deaf people feel included. Thirdly, Deaf, hearing, everyone can communicate. We can all have conversations! Sign Language is easy to learn. I have written two blogs. Two topics, what? How to learn Sign Language & Why I’m learning Sign Language. Enjoy! • #signlanguageweek #signlanguageweek2019 #signlanguage #britishsignlanguage #bsl #deaf #hearing #hearingloss #hardofhearing #deafiscool

Life is about choices. Some we regret, some we’re proud of. The message: we are what we choose to be. - Graham Brown • Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s about learning to dance in the rain. I believe everything happens for a reason. Perhaps we’re too scared to take the first step, but you never know until you try... • #lifechoices #quotes #inspiring #future #decisions #hearinglosswontstopme #deaf #hearingloss #flauntyourhearingaids #lifequotes #lifeison

One of the things I love doing is giving back to the community. I’ve always felt that having a hearing loss, has helped me to become a better person. • This July, I’m so excited as Dylan and I will be volunteering in a Deaf School in Sri Lanka for two weeks! We’re doing restoration work and cultural and social activities with the students. • Donations would really appreciated to help make raise funds for our trip. LINK IN BIO! Thank you 🙌🏻 • #voluntears #fundraising #volunteering #volunteer #overseas #deaf #hearingloss #hearinglosswontstopme #givingback #charity #community #deafness #proud

It was incredible being the guest speaker at the @ndcs_uk Youth Advisory Board event in Manchester this weekend! • Gave a speech about my life, how I became Deafie Blogger and my campaigns work. Amazing to see the inspirational deaf young people and the campaign work they’re doing... the next generation! • #ndcs #ndcsyab #youthadvisoryboard #deaf #hearingloss #deafness #hearinglosswontstopme #awareness #deafawareness #inspirational #motivational

Concentration fatigue in deaf people, particularly children... it’s a thing! It’s not talked about as often as it should be. • Communication is 10 times harder for deaf people. We have to focus on what’s being said, piece clues together, focus on body language, just to try and understand what someone’s saying. As a result = tiredness, headaches, frustration, giving up. This can be confused with laziness, ignorance or rudeness. • Things can be put in place to make situations easier for deaf people. Let us have some time out, regular breaks, if we don’t understand something, please repeat or write it down. Ask us if we’re okay, please don’t give up on us, we can succeed, given the right support. • I wrote a couple of blogs if anyone wants to share them! I’d love to hear your experiences... • #concentrationfatigue #fatigue #deaf #hearingloss #awareness #deafness #tiredness #hearinglosswontstopme #life #lifeison
