What an experience in Chicago O'Hare airport. I was bothered by a contractor who did not make an appropriate conduct. He even offered his arm twice for me to lean on like I couldn't walk. All I couldn't do was to hear. Watch my story.

Call that rich and varied Deaf culture? Call that rich and varied Deaf culture?

Video duration: 196 seconds

Rich and varied Deaf culture was the subtopic of the newspaper article when covering Deaflympics but not even one mention about ASL. ASL and Deaf culture are like salt and pepper. You just simply don't separate them on the table. For Deaf people who decided not to have hearing aids or cochlear implants didn't mean that they had no desire to communicate with hearing people.

In this vlog, Barb DiGi wanted to make a tribute to Mary Williamson Erd, an unforgotten "Sign" hero, who was the only female signer shown in "The Preservation of Sign Language" video. Mary W. Erd performed from a famous poem by Longfellow titled, "The Death of Minnehaha" and see how she produced a sign that looks like EAR-CHEEK for deaf. You would be surprised what Barb DiGi had found out. Enjoy!
