A CONVERSATION STARTER
Authors Kenton Myers and Gloshanda Lawyer wrote a piece entitled, "Black, Indigenous, People of Color: The BIPOC Interpreter Experience - Tokenism and Weaponization of Our Identities".
This piece encourages everyone to "engage in difficult conversations that will, in turn, lead to more transparent and authentic collaborations/interactions amongst our colleagues and peers."


BRANCH OF LITERATURE
This insightful website provides ASL translations for common vocabulary in literature. Devised by ASL Sign Masters and staff interpreters at NTID.

Thank you to Amanda Allard for providing this resource!
