LaRonda,
You do add color with brillance in your vlogs, revealed your character, and made this vlog a must see. When I think of the best vlogs, “The Ear of My Heart” is one of them. You’re an inspiration.
When I want laughs, I watch the Gary Brooks Show. When I want to see someone standing up for our Deaf rights, I watch the Deaf Progressivism. When I want to learn more about Deaf Community issues, even worldwide issues about ASL, I watch the Joey Baer’s ASL vlog. When I want a rush, I watch the Olson Coda Brothers. If I am in the dark about intricacies of Deafhood, I watch Ella’s flashlight. But if I want originality and creativity, I’ll watch you. It’s a clean vlog. Actually everybody has great vlogs..I just jump from vlog to vlog!
