  1. Finally it’s time to post what I’ve been waiting to post. I can’t describe how I’ve been feeling lately. But sadly that feeling is gone, because there’s more out there that I’m craving for. I’ve never in a million years thought that I’d win partner stunt. I’ve always wanted to hit a hard routine because that’s something I’ve never done, and finally I got the chance to hit a routine that me and my partner enjoyed. Hailey and I came a long way since our rookie year. We have basically learned everything together since @trinityvalleycheer . I’ve never been a big fan of coed stunting until @vontae_johnson decided to take me out of my comfort zone. I’ve always been a tumbler boy, and what’s crazy is that Vonate told me when he recruited me “I need you to learn how to stunt.” I was like wattt you crazy 😭. But if it wasn’t for vonate I wouldn’t be here. @_mattops watching him and @elsa_hassett made me who I am today. I’ve never been satisfied until I watched them stunt together. They literally aren’t human. I literally watch Matt stunt and try to copy everything he does and guess what? , I stole his secret key 😭. But I definitely look up to him and I’m grateful to be taught and learn how to be consistent. @hailey_dlynn man I love you tinkerbell , I’m glad we’re partners again, you made my life 10x easier. I’m glad we built ourselves to who we are today. Being your partner is like something that everybody wishes they could have, and I’m very blessed and grateful to be your partner again. TO BE CONTINUED!!

  1. If you know, you know. 😅 (laughing emoji) In all seriousness, this has happened to me several times. Many hearing people don’t realize that it’s interpreters’ job to facilitate effective communication and interpret everything that is spoken/heard. When interpreters are interpreting a conversation, they are focused on interpreting; they are not there as a third-party to the conversation. Qualified interpreters will interpret everything that is said, regardless of who the message is directed to. All of my preferred, qualified interpreters will even sign, “Tell HER….” if the hearing person uses this language, which allows me to make a decision whether to gently inform them that they can and should address me directly. I always appreciate it when interpreters remain committed to their job and refrain from making personal interjections, as this ensures the deaf consumer is not disempowered and power dynamics are not impacted for the most part. I find this to be an example of an interpreter exercising their power ethically. One of my preferred, qualified interpreters who I work with frequently is often asked, “What’s your name?” by a hearing person at the beginning of an interaction. This interpreter will always interpret what the hearing person asks, and I will usually say something along the lines of, “you can respond if you’d like.” The interpreter will then say, “This is the interpreter speaking. My name is _____.” This helps clarify the interpreter’s role and does not disempower the deaf consumer. Have a funny story involving a hearing person and interpreter? Share in the comments! . .

  2. Ha, I had fun with this one. In all seriousness, when hearing people interact with deaf people by way of a sign language interpreter, they should address the deaf person directly. Interpreters are there simply to interpret, not as somebody who is taking part in a conversation. I don’t get offended when a hearing person uses this type of language, but I usually take the opportunity to let them know that they can and should address me directly and that there is no need to use third-person language. I think this helps clarify interpreters’ roles and allows me to reclaim power as a deaf person. This is often well-received by hearing people, as many are genuinely not sure how to interact with deaf people and interpreters, and are often glad to learn this. Questions? Stories? Share in the comments! . . . . Transcript: (hearing person): “Tell HER….” (Interpreter): *interprets* “Tell HER…” (Deaf person): * looks to the side*: “Her?” (Deaf person): *looks back at the camera with a confused look* Read caption! Reel description: Mary, a Latina, is acting out a scene involving a hearing person, an interpreter, and a deaf consumer. The hearing character is wearing a long-sleeved maroon shirt. The interpreter is wearing a black long-sleeved shirt. The deaf character is wearing a long-sleeved heather gray sweater.

  3. Sadly, deaf people face this all the time, even though discriminating against deaf people and refusing to provide accommodations is illegal. We’ve personally run into countless situations where we were denied access to classes, despite being paying members. Not only is this illegal and incredibly frustrating, but this also contributes to the perpetuation of numerous health disparities affecting deaf people. It’s 2022 and the ADA is over 30 years old, but noncompliance continues to be rampant in every corner of deaf people’s lives. It’s high time that this changes. Here are a few tips and best-practices for gyms or businesses that provide wellness/fitness classes, both in-person and virtual: Include information about how to request accommodations in your class notices, websites, and etc. Eligible small businesses can claim tax credits on access expenditures, including the costs of ASL interpreters. Have a “Communication Access Plan” in place so you can easily fulfill your legal obligations and seamlessly provide accommodations. Organize training on accessibility, inclusion, and applicable disability laws. Engage in an interactive process; deaf people know their communication access needs best and are often more than happy to discuss options with you. For example, virtual classes hosted on a video conferencing platform like Zoom that are not as interactive (e.g. a yoga class where participants simply follow instructions), it might be satisfactory to utilize a Video Relay Service interpreter, but for a class that is more interactive and includes specialized terminology, Video Relay Service might not be appropriate or allowed per the ADA. Deaf, hard of hearing, deafblind, and deafdisabled people are entitled to equal access at gyms. Transcript and reel description are pinned in the comments. Additional information about the collaborators is also pinned in the comments. . . . #WellnessCoaching #Deaf #LivingHealthier #FitnessForAll #Discrimination #Accessibility #Inclusion #AccessibleYoga #AccessibleDesign

  1. Sometimes you just gotta be yourself and jump right into it - which is what we did with this video! We’re so excited for our workshop provided by AstroWoke on 4/27. Are you ready?! Link in bio to buy! ✨ What are we doing after?! We’re hosting a social gathering afterwards at 9:30 at Attaboy Beer! CHANGE OF LOCATION: Idiom Brewing. All is welcome, come as you are. ☺️ [visual description and transcript: Brianna, a white woman with long auburn-ish hair, and Antonia, a DeafBlind biracial person with short curly hair and a colorful headband, appear alongside each other wearing black shirts with the teal and purple DWU logo. The background is a blue wall and there is a brown light fixture on the ceiling. Brianna begins the video to get right into it and Antonia is unprepared but they roll with it and laugh! Brianna: “You ready for today?”Antonia: “wait wait, back up. I’m not prepared!” Brianna: “I put you on the spot!” Both laugh together. Antonia holds Brianna’s arm and hand as they sign. Brianna says “what are we doing today? What’s up today?” Antonia: “I can’t remember, help me out?” Brianna: “workshop something…?” Antonia: “oh that’s right! I’m hosting a workshop tonight! We are so excited!” Brianna: “come! Hope to see you there at 8pm tonight. Look at link in bio.” Both say they’re goodbyes, wave to the camera, about to end the video but Brianna gasps and realizes… “wait! I almost forgot. Dodo after workshop? Go home?” Antonia: “that’s right! No way. You’re absolutely right. We have to do something after.” Brianna: “something social in Frederick? I wanna say hi to everyone.” Antonia: “right? Where? At a brewery! Let’s get together and have the chance to get to know each other, have some drinks, and chat, and bring our insights from tonight’s workshop!” Brianna: “if you can’t make it to the workshop, you are still welcome to come to the social gathering afterwards! No specific time - come as you are and bring your friends if you want! Location: Attaboy Beer in Frederick, MD.” They say thank you and say their goodbyes for real and laugh together as the video ends.]
