The nathie ASL Soul poetry fundraising PROJECT
After filming a sample translation of Nathie's poem "Color", Miki Smith and De'Lasha Singleton made an announcement to Beautiful Sistas at the Austin Black Deaf Advocates (ABDA) potluck about the project. They showed a short sneak preview of the video to give Black Deaf community the idea of this fundraising project and invited the Beautiful Sistas and other Black Deaf womxn/femmes/folk to join. Many thanks to Aminah Estrada-Savannah, president of ABDA, for allowing us to make this announcement. Voice translation by Jariatou Sabi. We couldn't have done it without you! [video thumbnail description: Miki, a middle aged Black Deaf womxn with short curly hair is signing in two different locations as if she is "cut out" and collaged, her facial expression shows admiration in both images. She is wearing white gauge earrings. Background is a shade of brown.] [image: Click on each image to see description]
