Happy International Sign Language Day!🥰 🤟🏾 May we actively and consciously work towards creating a world that is more inclusive . 🤟🏾 Sometimes it could be as simple as learning how to communicate with a community. 🤟🏾 Sometimes it is as simple as choosing not to use harmful language to describe the deaf community. We do not use or tolerate terms like dumb, dummy or mute. 🤟🏾 Members of the deaf community are not stupid and they most certainly are not idiots , yet many face discrimination and bullying simply because they communicate differently. 🤟🏾 Let’s rethink how we perceive them. Let’s reimagine what society would look like IF we treated the deaf community and any other community with persons with disabilities as first class citizens! 🤟🏾 Shout out to companies like @toyotajamaicaltd who hire deaf and train staff in sign language. Naima and I tend to shop at supermarkets like Loshusan and Select Grocers that hire deaf packers. Let me know if other companies that hire deaf persons. 🤟🏾 If you are interested in learning sign language you can enroll in a @readytosignjsl class #terrikarelle #yourjamaicangirl #NaiK #internationalsignlanguageday #signlanguage #jsl
