What Deafhood did for me, Part 2: Developing a Deaf Identity
Some of you have asked why I’m “into” Deafhood. In this series, I will tell about my life and experiences (some of it, anyway) that have led toward my understanding and support of the Deafhood concept. Due to the length, I have broken it up into three parts:
- Part 1: The Hearing person that couldn’t hear (relates to before I developed a Deaf identity)
- Part 2: Developing a Deaf Identity (relates to after I entered a school for the Deaf)
- Part 3: Integration (How my past and present were reconciled by learning about Deafhood)
I realize that this vlog may not fully answer your questions. I welcome all open, honest questions and feedback, and will respond as appropriate. I will not accept or post any negative comments (including insults or “bashing”) due to the personal nature of this series.
