(Im afraid to talk to people online so im using anon HOWEVER)

If you want to find some places to meet Deaf/HoH people you gotta go to Facebook groups! I found this local group to me that meet like once or twice a month who were willing to allow someone who's learning in and I've been going since. Anyways I highly recommended checking local Facebook stuff. There's also some state led websites that people put their events on but you know how that is. I've been learning ASL for about a year now and the thing that made me grow the most is being in the middle of like 30 people signing. Scary but fun! Good luck finding people to chat with 💚

Hi! Thank you so much for your advice. I don't use Facebook but any help is always appreciated.

I have been looking around for months, but it seems my town lacks many things like that. 😮‍💨

I may just get Facebook just to join a group but who knows.

hello! I was wondering if these were ok to use as emojis (with credit of course) and if so, could the backgrounds be transparent?? Either way as someone who just took a class on asl and have been signing my entire life these look great!

Thank you so much!

Is there a specific sign you would like transparent? Or any signs I haven't done yet?

Preserving Black American Sign Language in the Deaf community

"It felt so free to me. It felt good to just communicate. You know, that was who I was. That was my culture. That was my identity.”
