Deafness Relations

Growing up, I learned the beautiful language of ASL while performing for a group called Hands and Harmony to songs like "The sun will come out tomorrow..."

​

After college, in my early twenties, I studied sign language at the local community college and immersed myself in Deaf Clubs and community where I saw the painful truth about the connection of children who are deaf who grow up in families who use spoken language. 

​

I was moved towards deaf education to help parents and families connect with their children who are deaf and hard of hearing whether it's through sign language or spoken language. 

​

Deafness Relations is a space to learn about Deaf culture through connection with d/Deaf individuals and for hearing parents of children with hearing loss to come together for support, guidance, and a space to be heard and seen. 

​

This is also a space to educate the general public about deafness and the various ways that people with a hearing loss can communicate and connect with typically hearing people.
