Guest Blog: ’19 going on 61′ – Gael Hannan
Hi everyone!
I thought it would be a great idea to introduce guest blogs on here! I’m so proud to introduce Deaf Author Gael Hannan as my first guest blogger! She wrote ‘The Way I Hear it’ last year and it’s a book I would love to read soon!
Here’s Gael’s blog:
Royal Deaf Awards 2016
Last Thursday my family and I travelled to London for the Royal Deaf Association’s 175th Birthday Honours Awards. The gala was held at The Millennium Hotel in London Mayfair. There was a champagne reception upon arrival, it was all very posh! The room itself was huge… I don’t know how people at the back could see! They had a big projection video of whoever was speaking, with the interpreter in the corner. There was also speech to text on a screen- which was highly useful for me!
Proud moment… a deaf encounter!
Daily debate… Deaf badge or not?
So today I was helping mum out with our jewellery stall at a manic carnival, and it was that busy that we didn’t have time to eat, drink or put suncream on- my arms are burning!
Big ‘D’ or little ‘d’?
Just a short post….
Tonight, I was helping my boyfriend with his College work, he’s doing a Deaf Studies degree. Some of the things they learn/research is quite fascinating and I learn something new about deaf people all the time.
