I'm a senior at Suffolk University majoring in history.  I've just accepted a position at Boston College's history MA program.  I hope to specialize in Cold War history, and to be a history professor some day.  I came out as transgender my senior year of high school, and began living as a woman after graduating in 2011.  

Two years ago I saw the film Shape of a Voice.  As a trans woman, I identified with the main character's feeling of loneliness.  I started learning ASL to help create a society that includes everyone, not just hearing people.  Perhaps I'll get a professorship at a deaf university some day.  

I've often gone to lengths to educate others about the transgender community, and am willing to answer any questions you may have.  Feel free to message me.

Hi Claire! Good for you! So so brave and just...really I think that what you are doing is amazing. If you want to practice ASL I would love to do that. I really need the practice. I have not used sign for 15 years and Im just getting back into it and I want to take and then pass (of course!) The interpreter test! Please let me know if you are interested in practicing via video.

      Deaf chats, where?

      An AD Code registration certificate is mandatory for any exporter. This AD certificate links the exporter's transaction with any specific bank account. It makes it easy for exporters to do international payments and the customs process.

      Deaf chats, where?

      By Tiffany Haver · Posted

      I've noticed that there are 2 chats scheduled for every Friday, but I'm never able to get access, says invalid meeting ID; anyone have the same experience? I am an individual who is Hard of Hearing, wear a BAHA hearing aid, and am taking courses to become an ASL/ENG interpreter. I am very interested in joining any chats that are re-occurring, please inform me

      Learning ASL

      By eafe.uka · Posted

      Hey Nadeema Thank you for sharing your story I’m also Hard of Hearing and I really felt your words It’s not easy facing the unknown with your hearing but the strength you’re showing is real Learning ASL changed a lot for me It helped me feel seen and connected in ways I didn’t expect You’re not alone here We’re all learning together and you’ve already taken a big step just by showing up with an open heart If you ever need someone to learn with or talk to I’m around
