Sign language Bible Translation

I am so proud of my brother and the organization that he is in. They are translating and educating others on how to translate the Bible into every kind of sign language.
He tells more about it in the video below.

If this is something that impacts you or someone you love, please pass it along. This is a huge task and they need all the support they can get.

Deaf and Hard of Hearing community, is it okay to have a hearing person sign a monologue onstage?

One of my classes is putting together a show. One of the character concepts is a Deaf woman. We would research the role thoroughly and address it with respect. Unfortunately, we are unable to cast a Deaf/HoH actor as the casting pool is limited to just my class. I would have my friend (who is an interpreter) help me with the signed dialogue. Is this appropriate? Should I make changes? Should we scrap the idea? Thank you!

Above all else, Samuel L Jackson’s tweets are legit loud. Nyle DiMarco is BAE. #Deaf #DeafCommunity #DeafCulture #HardOfHearing #HearingLoss

What Wikipedia Can’t Teach You About Deafness

The Wikipedia entry on deafness will give you the definition; signs and symptoms; causes; diagnoses; prevention; treatments and more. These are all from the medical perspective of being deaf, with a small “d”, and don’t show you the full story of a Deaf person, with a capital “D”. What’s the difference between deaf and Deaf? [...]
