💛🐣 Happy Easter 🐣💛 • I hope you’re all enjoying the Bank Holiday sunshine and tucking into some chocolate treats! • #HappyEaster #Easter #chocolate #hearingaids #lifeison #flauntyourhearingaids #hearinglosswontstopme #deaf #hearingloss #bankholiday #deafiscool

I love travelling and exploring new places! There’s some misconceptions that deaf people can’t travel or visit other places due to communication barriers, but I never let that stand in my way! It’s all down to planning what you want to do, where you want to go, the more planning, the less stressful and more enjoyable your trip can be. • I’ve had a few hilarious mishaps while travelling, from assistance staff bringing me a wheelchair, when I specifically said I’m deaf and I can walk, they still can’t process it! • My deaf boyfriend and I have had people talk to us like we’re 5 years old, shouting and over-enunciating words, we have to tell them to calm down and speak normally! • There’s been times where I’ve not understood someone’s language, so I ask them to write it down or use a translator app, generally people are willing to help! Communication is a two way process. • I don’t let any of that stop me from having a great time, it’s best to laugh at the misfortune and it makes funny conversation later in life! • Life’s too short, so grab any opportunities and see the world! 🌎 ✈️ • #travel #deaf #deaftravel #hearingaids #hearingloss #hearinglosswontstopme #deafiscool #flauntyourhearingaids #lifeison #funny #memories #deafness

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 Dyl 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!

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.
