The nathie ASL Soul poetry fundraising PROJECT
We are making progress on editing the translations of the twelve poems written by Dr. Nathie Marbury. We cannot wait to show them during the Nathie Marbury ASL Soul Poetry Showcase this coming Wednesday, January 28th! We, from the deepest part of our hearts, thank the people who were involved in making this project possible.
