Out of the Frying Pan..

Nothing like throwing our new staff interpreter into the fire!

Not literal fire, don’t worry guys;)  

Joshua Chung‘s assignment this past Wednesday was LIVE STREAMING! It was an interview with a DeafBlind woman, Haben Girma, a disability rights attorney and advocate for disability, who graduated from Harvard Law. And that’s just the beginning of her many accomplishments! 

And Josh’s accomplishment for the day – He did a phenomenal job and didn’t even have a script to prepare!! 

Way to go, Josh!

More Nyle;) Can You Ever Have Enough?

You are all now accomplices to my Nyle DiMarco obsession. Congragulations;)

I was scrolling through his facebook and saw this. This happened back in February. I wonder who made the decision to bring a wheelchair for a Deaf person. Having never had to go through this myself, like so many Deaf people have, I have no idea how I'd react. Would I be outraged, would I laugh at how ridiculous that is, I don't know. But I like what Nyle did this time. I'm a sucker for tea tweets;)
