  • Dancer/actor Shaheem Sanchez talked with guest host tWitch about how he wants to bridge the gap between deaf and hearing communities so they can come together and learn from one another. Plus, he described how he felt after making his film debut in the Oscar-nominated "Sound of Metal," and then took the stage for an incredible performance.

    I LOVED this!!! I'm deaf myself and i come from a family full of deaf ppl. I totally agree with him, all we want is for hearing ppl is to have an understanding we are human too 🤞🏽.

    It would be great to add or enable captions on this so the Deaf viewers watching could have access to tWitch’s interview questions! Awesome seeing more representation on the show!

      Also it says so much that they put the mic on his chest when he signs 😂

      "d/Deaf and HoH" (deaf/Deaf and Hard of Hearing) is the term widely preferred by the communities you're referring to.
      "Hearing impaired" has a negative connotation.

      @@kingabaddonmusic not every deaf person knows sign language(many older people I know don't) and most HoH people don't. I'm HoH and I know sign language, but twitch isn't using it and they switch the camera back and forth too much and too quickly for lip reading to be attempted. Captions are necessary to make it more accessible to the audience.

    @benitahammill5662 Před rokem

    In Australia it's an insult to use the word "deaf"
    The preferred term is "hearing impaired"

    • @purplel0vely
      @purplel0vely Před rokem

      In the US the preferred term is often D/deaf or hard of hearing. Impairment implies that you are broken, defective or have something wrong. People a part of Deaf culture see their deafness as a part of who they are, not necessarily a medical problem or something that is wrong. Just something that is another part of human difference and diversity. So impairment would not be a good term to them. Some people still use impairment but that is often in a medical context and not everyday. If you study Deaf culture in Australia I'm sure you will find many Deaf people who do not like the phrase hearing impaired for similar reasons. Deaf and disabled people are diverse. We do not think a like. Call people what they prefer to be called. Obviously this dancer identities as Deaf and that's ok.
