Shit Hearing People Say - Rikki Poynter

I absolutely love seeing this photoset getting this attention it’s getting for just because you NEVER see deaf people advocating for deaf people. Not that it doesn’t happen, it happens all the time everyday. It’s not ever In the public eye. the people you always see in the spotlight are hearing people. Hearing people are praised left and right for being deaf educators or interpreters or advocating for deaf people and that’s great, don’t get me wrong. I applaud them for helping the cause, but the face of deaf advocacy should be deaf, at least I think so, and this isn’t something you see a lot of.

So shout out to rikki poynter for this video and highlighting these issues in a humorous way and getting hearing people to understand this
