Our Legacy to Deaf Youth ~
Posted by LaRonda on March 16th, 2007
While I am still relatively new to the deaf blog/vlog world, I have been reading long enough to figure out which vlog/blog posts capture my attention, and which posts capture my attention and my heart.
The posts that capture my attention and my heart tend to be:
- positive
- educational
- solution focused
I like these best because it gives me, the reader/viewer, an idea how I can be a positive role model, a greater advocate and a better steward in the deaf community.
I realize that I have a choice of where I want to put my thoughts, time and energy when I read the posts on DeafRead. I find myself more drawn to those blogs/vlogs that ask questions, seek answers, and offer ideas and solutions to the oppression and injustice deaf people face, rather than those posts that just talk about it.
Telling stories about the past and current oppression does help raise consciousness. I will not argue or disagree with the importance of sharing this history. But I find myself wanting to take it a step further….
