MALAN Fire & Wind Storm Resources

This is progress we love to see!

It’s the normalization for me 🥹 On one hand, I am fully aware that it’s actually kinda sad that the simple act of a hearing person knowing how to fingerspell was a “wow!” moment for me. On the other hand, this simple act was a small reminder that with representation and awareness, we do begin to slowly see changes in attitude and behavior. Also? I was literally thinking about what kind of content I could make for #InternationalWeekOfTheDeaf when this happened. Thank you, kind @heb employee! P.S. @heb love it when your employees know basic ASL (and how to treat Deafies with basic kindness) 🤟🏽 #DeafAwarenessMonth — TRANSCRIPT Wow, something cool just happened. H-E-B (Texas grocery store) Curbside. That person— (waves good-bye) — that person came up and started speaking. I gestured that I was deaf. They were like, “Oh!” And started to fingerspell my name. I was like, “Yeah, that’s me.” Just like normal. They were just like, “Oh, you’re deaf? Okay,” and switched to fingerspelling. Love to see it! This is why representation matters. Learn sign! Happy International Week of the Deaf!

Looks like there's room for one more on the original five-person bicycle at UCare!
