A Deaf friend once told me...

That the hardest thing they found growing up, was never having that person they could unload their worries onto when things got hard.
That person who innately “got it” without them having to explain their experience over and over again.

This conversation has always stuck with me, and when I had Frank... It hit even harder.

Because even though I am his mother.
Even though I grew him in my belly, and nurtured him and have held his hand tight through his entire life...
Even though I would move mountains for him + read every damn book in the world to understand his experience...

I am a hearing person.

I grew up as a hearing child with a hearing family in a hearing-centred world with hearing privilege.

And the hard but honest truth is, I will never understand the part of him I so desperately want to understand.

But you know who does?

Other deaf people.

Other deaf kids and deaf adults understand.
A whole community of people understand.
And that’s a pretty spectacular thing.

And with all I can muster, I will endeavour to surround my deaf child with his deaf community, in every way I can, as often as I can 🤟🏼🤟🏼

There’s no “maybe” about it.

Hearing privilege is to attend a social event without worrying about whether this is going to be a quiet place or too noisy, or is going to be captioned, or if there will be interpreters. ⁠
⁠
Hearing privilege is being able to access whatever movie we want when we go to the cinema. A hearing person can go whenever they want because they don't need to know if the movie is captioned and at what time is it played, which usually is very limited with not many options available.⁠
⁠
Hearing privilege is beneficial to our school or university experience, and we don't have to worry about support or access to information. We expect that the teachers and other educational personnel are fluent in the same language as ours.⁠
⁠
You have probably seen videos from hearing people who are learning sign language (and currently have very basic skills) sharing a music video while signing it. ⁠
In most cases there are mistakes in these videos, as the person is not usually fluent and doesn't know how to do this properly, HOWEVER, the video receives lots of likes, shares, and positive comments ("you're amazing", "this is so inspiring"...). ⁠
⁠
But when the same thing is done by a deaf sign language user person, people don't really appreciate it as this is nothing "special", is it? This is another example of hearing privilege.⁠
⁠
We want to clarify that the word "privilege" is not about having an easy life. It's about self-awareness and appreciation of what we have.⁠
⁠
There are lots of good things that we can do with our "hearing privilege". Read the article here: https://www.deafumbrella.com/post/hearing-privilege

DEAFvibe have received this email:

My name is Lara Manwaring and I am a Casting Director who works across Film and TV - previous work includes the Channel 4 drama 'Top Boy', BAFTA award winning feature 'Ellen', BBC's 'Gunpowder' starring Kit Harrington and 'War Machine' starring Brad Pitt.

Currently we are casting a BBC Films feature film set in London, that is going to be directed by Deaf Writer and Artist Louise Stern. The film is set within a Deaf community and will shoot in early 2025 in the UK.

We are currently looking for a Deaf girl aged 7-12 years who can sign fluently to play a key role in the film. The girl should have mixed black/white heritage (due to the actors we have cast as her parents).

Just to clarify, the child doesn't need to have any acting experience whatsoever.

We are known within the industry for discovering new talent, particularly children or young people. Please share this info with your friends. We are fully DBS checked, and we think this is such a brilliant opportunity.

I've attached an image flyer with more info.
