cappin like a corn

Reese Ireland

I love being a Capricorn, so much so it had to be included in the title of the name. Everyone knows capricorns are "mean, rude and blunt", which can be true but we hate when people are cappin in our face. In this podcast we talk about anything and everything. Internet niches, spirituality, pop culture, intersectionalities, trauma, being a novice Black ASL interpreter in a predominantly white field and so much more. I'm not afraid to say the quiet part out loud... literally

    ep. 3 - my ASL journey + language & information deprivation

    JAMBOOOOO everyoneeee. For captions, please refer to my youtube channel where it's the easiest to make it accessible. In this episode, I wanted to go over a bit of my ASL journey, how my college experience led me to transferring schools while also navigating being the only Black student in my program. I'll go more into depth later on about my experiences once I'm established because this community is tewwww small and my reputation precedes me with already being a content creator. I also talk about some Deaf history and why knowing all of this has pushed me to pursue interpreting on top of ADA coordinating and by the time I'm uploading this I did pass my test so I can now officially say I'm a certified ADA coordinator!!! Later on in the video I talk about how with the history of the Deaf community has led to language and information deprivation, another thing I'm passionate about especially with having to write a paper on it. This is why instead of doing ASL song interpreting, I've decided to do breakdowns of the song because with being deprived of those things, it can make it more difficult for Black Deaf people to understand the literary devices & word play being used because they miss out on so much incidental learning from being Deaf and majority of their family members not learning ASL. So breaking down the music and seeing what the true meaning is feels a lot better and more accessible then just signing. I hope y'all enjoyed this episode and I'll see y'all in my next one :) insta: blessingthecommunityllc & reese.ireland
