What Does Deafhood Mean To You? (Part II of II)

There are 17 Deaf vloggers (we had 21 in part I so that is 38 so far) sharing their points of views on what Deafhood means to them. These Deaf vloggers in part I and part II have embraced Deafhood as a part of their lives in a positive light. It is surely enlightening to watch!

Barb,

I agree with Joey Baer...let's go for Part 3! Hope you got time for that....I saw in a comment elsewhere that said there's no people of color in them. It's not true but would be wonderful to have more so please anybody who consider yourself a person of color, send off to Barb a 30 second vlog about what Deafhood means to you...I consider myself a minority in the Deaf world too (woman, lesbian, Deaf parents) and I did a piece too... so hope you will!

Hi Ella,

There are some others who have contacted wanting to participate and I am willing to continue with this project as there is no limits when it comes to Deafhood!

Hey Barb... well done!

Only thing.... my username is misspelled. *POUTING*

It's shelpotma1 not shelpotoma1. *pouting pouting*

Otherwise...CHAMP VLOG!

We need more positive stuff coming out of ALL OF US, rather than the negative ones. Thanks for your HARD WORK, Barb!

Oh NO, Shel Potma!!!! I knew your last name and must have gotten brain wired to the name Pocahonta so sue me! Heck, I can't even say it is a blond moment. So what is my excuse? How can you forgive me?

Hello, there is no deafhood. I have been asking hearing people, do they word for hearinghood? You know what they said to me never heard of that hearinghood. I asked hearing people do they word for deafhood. They said no, there is no hearinghood and deafhood. Because i never heard word in my life. I know You have sisterhood, brotherhood, meaning bunch of women ,bunch of men etc.. Common sense. That i know thats all. No offend at all. Just what i know. Smile

@SuperSleonard Deafhood exists within ourselves who are Deaf going through a journey on what it means to be Deaf, that's all to that. It is not a matter of a group who belongs to Deafhood. Please read the book: Understanding Deaf Culture: In Search of Deafhood by Paddy Ladd. Nothing to do with the level of higher/lower or even hate as your views are a bit way off. Yes, there are certain individuals who do bully but it has nothing to do with Deafhood but their extreme views.
