From 2009 to 2011, I served as a Deaf Education and Behavior Communication and Change Volunteer in Kenya. Even though I come from three generations of deaf families and came equipped with language access, I never attended a deaf school. I experienced the subaltern resiliency that these deaf students had. I’ll never forget coaching my students at the Provincial Deaf Games—the volleyball matches, the deaf students from across the province waving their hands in applause, the pride on every face. Forged through a shared experience among people who are deaf, deaf culture has over 300 signed languages around the world, its own stories, and its own traditions.
