As promised, here is another vlog to follow up on my “Leaving DeafRead” vlog from yesterday which includes some further thoughts. I remain firm in my stance that DeafRead needs to step up and change as well as raise their own expectations and standards in order to protect our beloved Deaf community. I usually keep my vlogs to under three of four minutes, but this vlog is about 6 1/2 minutes long. I felt it necessary to make this one a little longer to be able to express my thoughts thoroughly. Thank you.
I also would like to refer my viewers to an excellent vlog by Tommy I watched last night about how we can restore proper ethics to the blogosphere by showing each other respect. He also explains why certain critics and hecklers need to stop using loaded terms and stop taking “cheap shots.” Check it out as well! CLICK HERE to watch it.

It is a good time to remind ourselves why Deaf people are here on Earth in the first place. The 13-minute video memorializes Deaf people who have suffered yet carried on our Sign Languages and Deafhood. Additionally, this video will inspire us to continue fighting for our Deaf children’s human rights. The video is subtitled and was performed at the World Federation of the Deaf conference in 1999.

This 12-minute video shows some of the third part of the “Understanding Deafhood” presentation series at the National Association of the Deaf Conference in Palm Desert, California last summer. “Understanding Deafhood: Out Identity” will discuss four areas:    1) critical examination (examined vs unexamined), 2) deficit thinking, 3) consciousness, and 4) construction of Deaf consciousness. This video will help us understand the importance of Deaf consciousness and identities to the point that it is so critical for all Deaf people to learn, grow, and work together. As always, thank you for your interest in learning more about Deafhood.
