Deaf Dancer Antoine Hunter Helps DropLabs

Deaf activist and choreographer Antoine Hunter helps DropLabs develop their first product for the dancer community.

Antoine Hunter, Advisory Board Member for DropLabs, talks about his experience with music, helping develop DropLabs' first product, EP 01 and refining DropLabs Technology™. Antoine is a Deaf activist, dancer, and choreographer. He runs the Urban Jazz Dance Company, as well as the Bay Area Deaf International Dance Festival. Some words from the interview with Antoine Hunter.

Is there an early memory you’d like to share about when you first discovered your passion for dancing?

The first time that I realized dance was the way to communicate with people, I was in high school. And I took dance class. One day my teacher said, "Hey, you all have to work together with a project and create a dance." Nobody wanted to dance with me. No one wanted to work with me. I told my teacher and she said, "Well, why don't you go ahead and create a solo?"

So, I got the music: Whitney Houston, "I Will Always Love You." I got on stage and the music was playing. She was singing. I was just rocking side to side, feeling cold and alone. I was moving all over the room. When the instrumental break hit, it felt like lightning was hitting my body. The fire, the water, the wind. Every element that's alive was shooting through my body. I didn't know what I was doing but I remember when the music stopped. I was catching my breath. All the students watching me, they didn't say anything but then everyone started applauding. My teacher asked everyone what I felt. They said it felt like he was cold and alone. I was like, "That's right!" I knew from then on, dance was the way to communicate.

From there on, I fell in love. I wanted to do Russian dance, Indian dance, hip-hop, everything. I wasn't thinking about my career; I was just thinking it was a way to express myself. Like each dance was like a different language I wanted to learn.

Albania TV Show Interview With Deaf Model

Rudina: Maria Taragjini represented Albania in Miss & Mister Deaf 2019.

TIRANA, Albania -- A beautiful and gorgeous 21-year-old Maria Taragjini is a Deaf woman with different abilities who does not speak or listen. But that has not stopped her from pursuing her dream. Maria represented Albania in the Miss and Mister Deaf 2019 competition that took place in Italy, ranking 5th.

Maria was invited today on the show "Rudina" on TV Klan to tell us more about this beautiful experience. Accompanied by her friend Loretta, who helps us communicate in sign language, Maria is currently a sophomore at the University of the Arts in the Department of Sculpture and Painting.

She has been living away from her family since coming to Tirana at the age of five to study at the school for Deaf and Hard of Hearing students. While her family still lives in Kodovjat village of Gramsh.

Representing Albania was a dream come true and ranking in fifth place was a great achievement, even though it says competition was strong.

“I competed with 5 outfits; in a red dress, in a black dress, in something fashionable, in bathing suits and in a red dress. The race was strong, lots of beautiful girls, lots of competition. I did not find it difficult, I felt safe after being helped by people in the field. Fulfilled the dream I had when I was little, I learned how to walk in the backyard, to be beautiful. Fulfilling the dream is something very big."

Marias says she likes to change her appearance often. “I like myself more blonde than brunettes. I love the change of appearance. My hair was blue. I really want to explore with myself."

Prejudice is another aspect Marian has often associated with throughout her life. In this beauty contest, messages were given that these young people would not be seen with a different eye. And this is what Mary seeks to say. Maria's message is, "Don't prejudge, but help, we're like you."

Deaf Actor Cast As Superhero In DC's 'Titans'

Deaf transgender actor Chella Man talks being cast in 'Titans' as Jericho for DC universe series.

LOS ANGELES -- DC’s “Titans” has found its Jericho. Deaf activist, artist and model Chella Man, who’s transgender, has been cast in the role, portraying the mute superhero who uses sign language to communicate with his teammates.

Man told HuffPost that Jericho has a special significance for him as a Deaf individual who regularly communicates using sign language.

“Jericho’s primary mode of communication hits close to home,” Man said via email. “I rarely saw sign language authentically represented on screen growing up, so this incredible opportunity has made my heart soar.”

“Titans” cast Man for its second season. Jericho, the superhero son of villain Deathstroke, can possess anyone he makes eye contact with.

Man’s involvement in the series is a win for representation. According to the Ruderman Family Foundation, 95 percent of characters with disabilities are depicted by able-bodied actors in television. The significance of his casting isn’t lost on him. He said it’s “imperative” to cast actors with disabilities for disabled characters.

“Individuals with disabilities have long been misrepresented and underrepresented by all industries,” he wrote. “Casting disabled actors/actresses for disabled roles will aid to authentically represent and deconstruct stereotypes built around our identities.”

Man said that he doesn’t feel any of his traits are limitations and that with his acting, he can exhibit that.

“Take it from a Deaf queer, Jewish person of color who has always dreamed of being a superhero and has now been granted that exact opportunity,” he said.

Texas Police Hires First Deaf Female Officer

A Texas woman is making history after being sworn in as the state's first Deaf female police officer.

DALHART, Texas -- History is made in the Lone Star State. The newest recruit for the Dalhart Police Department becomes the first Deaf female police officer.

Her name is Erica Trevino and she's dreamed of being an officer since she was in kindergarten. But growing up, people told her she couldn't achieve her goal because of her disability. Today she proved them wrong as she was officially sworn in with Dalhart Police Department.

To activate this feature, press the "CC" button.

"I'm ready to get to work," said Ofc. Erica Trevino after her swearing-in. It's that same drive and tenacity that led Chief David Conner to look past her disability and discover her special qualities. And that list is a long one.

"I believe she can do the job just like any other other police officer," said David Conner, Dalhart Police Chief. "She has proven time and time again that she can and will overcome those obstacles. She has her bachelor's degree in forensic science, she graduated 3rd from her class in the Academy, she's very intelligent and articulate."

Despite speaking English, Officer Trevino speaks some Spanish and is able to sign in five different languages including Spanish and Japanese. But there's one word she didn't pick up.

"People told me no because I was deaf," said Ofc. Trevino.

"So we've learned a long time ago not to tell Erica no," said Cindi Trevino, Erica's mom.

"She hasn't let life stand in her way, so who am I tell her she can't do it. Give her a chance," said Chief Conner.

Despite her impressive set of skills, the critics and naysayers remained. But so did Erica's resilience.

To activate this feature, press the "CC" button.

"I just realized I'm not going to let anyone tell me what I can do and what I cannot do. So I decided to become a police officer. It's been a long, hard path, but here I am," said Ofc. Trevino.

Her first day is April 14th. Chief Conner said he's created special procedures to help Trevino with communication. She is able to hear calls over the police radio but dispatch will also text all calls to her phone.

The department bought a special cell phone to help with that. Plus, Trevino will also have a partner during her shifts.

Officer Trevino has been Deaf her entire life and has had to overcome stereotypes. She made history today, but she's just getting started. She said her next goal is to join the department's Criminal Investigation Department.

Deaf Actress Millicent Simmonds 'A Quiet Place'

Meet the Deaf Utah teen who stars in thriller 'A Quiet Place'

BOUNTIFUL, Utah -- A Quiet Place stunned audiences and critics alike, garnering over $150 million at the worldwide box office and earning a 95 percent critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

The thriller film is the stuff of nightmares, as two parents fight to keep their children safe in a post-apocalyptic world while creatures hunt by sound and slaughter anyone who makes a noise.

But for Deaf Bountiful actress Millicent Simmonds, it’s been more a dream than a nightmare.

The 15-year-old plays Regan, the Deaf daughter of the Abbotts, portrayed by real-life husband and wife John Krasinski and Emily Blunt.

Regan’s parents have survived in a world that demands silence because they learned sign language to communicate with their Deaf daughter, but Regan still struggles to be understood in a place where a single sound could cost her her life.

To activate this feature, press the "CC" button.

“I really loved the story and thought it was unique,” Simmonds told KSL.com. “I also really loved the character Regan. She was brave, tough, a little rebellious, but really just wanted to contribute to the family. She was really complex.”

Unlike Regan, Simmonds wasn’t born deaf, but lost her hearing as an infant after an accidental medication overdose. She learned American Sign Language and attended a school for Deaf students until she decided to start regular high school in her teens.

At 14 years old and with no film credit to her name, Simmonds beat out 250 other candidates to land a leading role in the film “Wonderstruck,” starring Julianne Moore and Michelle Williams, after a former drama teacher prompted her to audition. Simmonds played Rose, a young Deaf girl trying to discover more about her past.

“I wanted to show other Deaf people that they can do anything, even be in a movie,” Simmonds said when KSL first profiled her in May.

Though Simmonds works with an interpreter on set, she believes the hardest part about being a Deaf actress isn’t her lack of hearing, but the lack of opportunity for those in the Deaf community... Read More on KSL.com.

To activate this feature, press the "CC" button.

“Ready to Be Heard” is the story of Amanda McDonough, who was diagnosed with hearing loss at the age of 4. As she grew older, her hearing steadily declined as she battled to hide her ongoing hearing loss from her family, friends, teachers, and the world. Despite facing unbelievable challenges, she succeeded in; getting straight A’s in school, having a successful child acting career, and leading a fairly “normal” life. But one day, during the most difficult part of her college career, she awoke to discover that her remaining hearing was completely gone. She had lost 100% of her hearing in both ears. All of a sudden, she was unable to communicate with the people around her. She did not know sign language, could no longer speak well, and could not lip read. She became isolated from the world and had to finally face her hearing loss, accept that she was deaf, and find a way to finish college without being able to hear. She found the strength to teach herself to talk well again, to lip-read, and to use sign language. As she was leaning new communication skills, she also graduated from college and set out on an emotional rollercoaster ride to discover who she was and who she wanted to become. Join her on her journey to find a balance between the hearing world she was raised in and the Deaf culture she now belonged to.

What It's Like To Raise A Deaf Child

Raising a Deaf child: Parents share how they found out a child was deaf and how they raised a child.

Finding out your baby / child is Deaf can be devastating - but it’s not the end of the world. In this video, Ashley Clark Fry's parents share their experience of finding out she was born deaf and their journey raising her in the hearing world.

To activate this feature, press the "CC" button.

Did you know that many hearing parents of Deaf children do not learn sign language to communicate with their Deaf child? Growing up, Ashley had so many people-like teachers, interpreters, people working in the Deaf education field, etc. tell Ashley all the time how lucky she was to have her parents learning sign language to communicate with her. They were amazed at how well her parents handled having a deaf baby and raising a Deaf child with no prior knowledge about the Deaf community and sign language.

Ashley can’t imagine what it’s like to find out that your baby was born deaf. But she do know that it’s not the end of the world. She was born deaf and was raised by hearing parents and Ashley turned out okay. And my hope is that this video will reach new hearing parents to share and encourage that it’s not the end of the world if your baby is DEAF. It will have some tough moments, but it’s all about perspective and learning how to adjust and live a little differently.

Ashley wanted to interview her parents to share their story -- what it was like finding out that their baby was deaf and what it was like to raise a deaf child - and also to share what they decided to do and why they made the decisions they made in hopes that hearing parents of Deaf babies / children would find this and be encouraged and help them make more informed decisions. Back then, her parents didn’t have anyone to ask, and couldn't even Google it - as there wasn’t internet in 1989 when Ashley was born. She hope with this video is that hearing parents can make more informed and educated decisions for their Deaf baby / child.

Hope you enjoyed the interview!

Priest Admitted Deaf Child Abuse In Confession

"We abused Deaf children, we were at least ten", the confession of Provolo's priest.

MENDOZA, Argentina -- Fanpage shares short documentary film with english subtitles - Pedophilic priests of Provolo Institute in Verona were protected, hidden or transferred to Argentina for many years. ‘Provolo’ is a worldwide known religious institute that used to host Deaf children from poor and disadvantaged families.

The victims' complaints were useless and this because the crimes were mostly covered by the statute of limitation until one of these priests, Don Nicola Corradi, was arrested in Argentina for alleged sexual abuse at the Provolo Institute of Mendoza, Buenos Aires, in November 2016.

In 2010 numerous priests were investigated for abuses by a Vatican commission, but the depositions were sealed and since then we have not heard anything.

Now one of these investigated priests, Don Piccoli, who lives as a guest in a Vatican accomodation in Negrar, near Verona, tells us for the first time what he and dozens of other priests did to the Deaf children and how some of these priests were moved to Argentina after being accused of pedophilia. Moreover, by listenning to the story of one of the abuse victims, Giuseppe Consiglio, we've come to know of another accused pedophilic priest. He still works at the Provolo in Verona.

The nuns of the nearby Institute Gresner take his side, but some details don’t add up. Did the Vatican know about these pedophilic priests? Could Don Nicola Corradi be stopped? Can the other accused priests still be stopped? We had to go deep into the hidden heart of the Church to answer these questions.

FREMONT, California -- The film project by Language Equality and Acquisition for Deaf Kids #LEADK and partnership with the Nyle DiMarco Foundation. This is their story with english subtitles.

The medical system now aggressively encourages hearing parents not to use signed languages with their Deaf children and withhold information about American Sign Language in the U.S.

McDonald's Refuses Interview Deaf Applicant

McDonald's pays up $56,000 to the EEOC after manager refuses to interview Deaf applicant in Missouri.

BELTON, MO -- (AP) McDonald's will pay a $56,500 settlement after a southeast Missouri restaurant manager refused to interview a Deaf job applicant.

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission on Tuesday announced the settlement with McDonald's Corp. and McDonald's Restaurants. A message seeking comment from the Oak Brook, Illinois-based company was not immediately returned.

The EEOC says a young man who can't hear or speak applied online in 2012 to work at the McDonald's in Belton, Mo. He had previous experience as a cook and cleanup team member at a McDonald's restaurant in another state.

A lawsuit filed by the EEOC says that when the restaurant manager learned the applicant needed a sign language interpreter for his interview, she canceled the interview, even though the applicant's sister volunteered to interpret.

25 Things You Don’t Know About Nyle DiMarco

Deaf News: Dancing With the Stars' Nyle DiMarco: 25 Things You Don’t Know About Me - I Get Mistaken for Bradley Cooper.

LOS ANGELES -- No, that isn't Nyle DiMarco sharing the screen with Jennifer Lawrence in film after film. But the Dancing with the Stars season 22 standout has indeed been mistaken for fellow hunk Bradley Cooper, as he tells Us Weekly exclusively in 25 Things You Don’t Know About Me.

Among other revelations from the America's Next Top Model cycle 22 winner, are that he downs a surprising beverage before working out (so that's the secret to his incredible physique!) and that he can't get enough of a certain John Travolta film.

The Deaf model is certainly the one that judges and viewers alike want on the ABC competition series. He landed at the top of the DWTS leaderboard last week with a 37 out of 40 for his waltz with new partner Sharna Burgess, including the first perfect 10 of the season.

Check out the full list below for more from Nyle DiMarco:

1. I drink double espresso before I go to the gym.

2. My grandparents have been living with us since my birth.

3. We changed our last name from Thompson to DiMarco (our mother's maiden name). We have a strong family bond.

4. I love to cook breakfast.

5. I am a morning person.

6. I do not like fancy or chain restaurants. I live for local spots.

7. I am the fourth generation of being Deaf. In my family, we have over 25 Deaf members.

8. I have a twin brother, and he has orange hair, freckles and is fair-skinned.

9. I am a sucker for animated movies.

10. I'm sensitive.

11. I can spend all day at the beach.

12. I love to bike.

13. I have been to more than 30 countries in the world.

14. I have sailed the entire East Coast of the U.S.

15. I traveled alone around the world for almost three months.

16. I have a degree in math.

17. I have my own foundation, Nyle DiMarco Foundation, and it focuses on bettering Deaf youths' lives.

18. I can do a backflip.

19. People say I look like Bradley Cooper, and one time I was even mistaken as him.

20. I "borrowed" my mom's car when I was 13 to sneak out to meet up with a friend.

21. I'm obsessed with the movie Grease.

22. I still play Nintendo 64.

23. I love cannoli.

24. My two brothers and I all have the same Italian tattoo on our bottom-right back. We got it on the same day.

25. I'm stubborn.
