Deaf TikToker Uses App To Raise Awareness

This viral TikTok from a Deaf creator is moving hearing people to learn American Sign Language.

LOS ANGELES, California -- Deaf activist and TikToker, Chrissy Marshall's blog "The Essential Sign" shares experience on social media, she is raising awareness about the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community and teaching hearing people sign language, one viral video at a time.

If you don't live with a disability, you may not appreciate how crucial and meaningful community and accessibility are - but one viral TikTok is demonstrating it perfectly.

Chrissy Marshall, a 19-year-old content creator in Los Angeles, was born hard of hearing and became profoundly Deaf in high school. Now, she makes content on YouTube and TikTok about her disability and American Sign Language.

One of those videos captures a "special" day she had recently. In the TikTok video, Marshall, looking happy and excited, recounts her day of encountering three people who signed to her in American Sign Language.

"The sun was shining, people were signing, and everything felt so fluid," Marshall told BuzzFeed News in an interview. "I thought I was being pranked or something, like cameras were going to pop out and ask about my day."

"The area has a big Deaf community," she added, "and I’m glad and inspired to see the impact it’s had on the greater community as a whole."

The video is making other people happy too, and it's encouraging them to learn American Sign Language.

"Oh my god. Today has been crazy," she says and signs in the video. "Today I went to three places and all three people signed."

She describes stopping at the bank, where a teller signed with her, then at Starbucks, where a Deaf barista signed, and then she grabbed a pretzel, where the worker also signed.

"Everyone signed! It was like a perfect world. It's like a utopia."

The TikTok was reuploaded to Twitter, where it went viral.

Marshall said her online platform has given her the opportunity to spread awareness about disability rights, American Sign Language, and deafness.

Her other videos cover what it's like to be Deaf. She also posts fun ones like American Sign Language versions of songs.

"I’m so glad it’s just more people I get the opportunity to educate and inspire to be part of the community," said Marshall. "I am a huge advocate for people learning American Sign Language, and I’m happy and grateful so many people were inspired to do so."

The Ghana Pallbearers Coffin Dance Memes

The troupe of Ghanaian pallbearers went viral of their flamboyant coffin carrying dances, garnering millions of views.

The funeral dancing pallbearers are one of the unique tradition went viral, the pallbearers are at the centre of a global internet sensation.

Let's find out the history and origin of the Dancing Pallbearers also known as Dancing Coffin and the Coffin Dance.

The Ghanaian dancing pallbearers are led by Benjamin Aidoo, who started the group as a regular pallbearer service. Families are increasingly paying for their services to send their loved ones off in style. The dancing pallbearers first rose to prominence in 2017 when they were featured in a BBC News report.

Though the group initially gained worldwide attention though a BBC feature story in 2017, the footage became part of an Internet meme in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020. BBC Africa's Sulley Lansah met up with the leader of the troupe to get his reaction to his new-found fame.

In April 2020, the group became the subject of a darkly comedic internet meme when videos of people suffering various mishaps, followed by clips of the pallbearers dancing with coffins implicitly the victims of the preceding clips, were widely uploaded to Reddit, YouTube and TikTok.

Many uses of this meme are commonly associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, which was ongoing when the meme became popular on social media.

Britain's Got Talent - Sign Along With Us

Sign with us choir become first Golden Buzzer act of series with emotional performance of "This Is Me" goes viral.

LONDON, United Kingdom -- Sign With Us became the first act of the year to get a Golden Buzzer on this series of Britain’s Got Talent.

The choir, lead by siblings Jade and Christian, put on a stirring performance to "This Is Me" from The Greatest Showman.

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

Judge David Walliams, clearly impressed, pressed his Golden Buzzer, sending them straight through the live semi-finals.

‘Every one of you gave an amazing performance,’ David admitted. ‘All I can say is…’ He then pressed his Golden Buzzer and everyone basically just burst into tears.

Amanda Holden, weeping openly, added: ‘That song is such an anthem for people who maybe don’t feel part of the world - or part of anything - and I just found it really, really moving. It was brilliant.’

Boasting 37 kids and 28 adults ranging from four to 58-years-old, Sign With Us is easily one of the most moving acts Britain’s Got Talent has ever seen.

The line-up of the act was also surprising for Syco mogul Simon as he recognised a previous Pride of Britain winner who clearly took his advice to audition for the show to heart.

‘I have to confess I have a friend of mine in this choir,’ grins Simon. ‘Ella. I heard Ella sing and said, “One day I have a feeling you’re going to be auditioning in one of our shows”, and guess what? You’re here.

‘You’re saying this is me, but this is us. This is what Britain’s Got Talent should be all about. This is an audition I will never forget.’

Founders Jade and Christian will also be familiar to viewers as they also previously popped up on an episode of The Russell Howard Show.

Jade initially learnt sign language in order to communicate with her brother, who is severely disabled and is now campaigning for it to be taught in schools to help others across the country.

During the programme, we saw evidence of this, as Jade encouraged Christian to sign along to some popular songs, including Lewis Capaldi’s chart-topping hit Someone You Loved.

We think we can all agree that their message has been well and truly spread to the nation. And no, we’re not crying…you are!

Bad Lip Reading - 'NFL 2020'

More stuff that could have been said, celebrating 100 years of The NFL.

The Super Bowl may be over, but we're just now getting to our favorite football event of the year: the NFL Bad Lip Reading.

The Bad Lip Reading YouTube channel excels at making it seem like real people are saying the darndest things, and the channel has been uploading NFL Bad Lip Readings since 2013.

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

This year's montage gives us New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady saying, "I hate cats. Why they gotta pee in the little tub?" And if that alone doesn't sell you, you can also watch a referee say, "Your face is a face I've been avoiding for seven years. If I have to look back at it, I'll break down for sure."

Thankfully, coaches and fans are not immune from the Bad Lip Reading treatment. And don't worry, there are plenty of highlights of Super Bowl champ Patrick Mahomes, even if they're not the kind we're used to seeing him in.

Boy Signs To Interpret Show For Deaf Parents

The video went vial after the child's mother shared it on social media, showing the boy, interpreting a film to his Deaf parents.

LONDON, UK -- A 'caring' four-year-old boy has been filmed interpreting a film using sign language for his Deaf parents.

Gabriel Toseland started signing at four months old for parents Abigail Britton and her partner Conor and has gone on to sign full series' for them.

Footage shows little Gabriel sat next to the family's Christmas tree in Cheshire as he starts interpreting the movie.

A helicopter approaches landing on the television as he begins his interpretation.

He glances at the screen before making gestures to illustrate it.

Abigail said it was 'completely out of the blue' when her son leaped to the rocking chair by the television on Saturday. She told the Metro: ‘He first started to learn to sign with baby sign, saying things such as milk, bath and nappy.

‘He has picked up more and more sign language over time and he has become very natural.’ Both parents use British Sign Language (BSL) and thought it was important for their son to learn it.

The mother-of-two wanted him to learn so he can 'communicate' better without any frustration or communication barrier. And being such a 'fast-learner', he can now he can let his parents know when someone's at the door.

Gabriel's 'caring nature' ensures everyone is included and he is currently teaching his 19-month-old sister. Ms Britton and Conor faced language barriers and wanted their son to be able to grasp both of them.

More than 18,000 people have watched the video of Gabriel in under a day and have shared their messages of adoration.

Rhian Deans wrote: 'What an incredible little Man! You must be one proud mama!'

Jo Betts said: 'This is so beautiful. I'd be bursting with pride if he were my son. Bless him.'

You Might Be Buying Trash On Amazon

Why your Amazon purchase could come from the garbage dumpsters.

NEW YORK CITY -- Wall Street Journal investigation finds Amazon.com selling actual “dumpster trash.” Some Amazon third-party sellers sell second-hand products as new on the site-some even claim to sell products they found while digging through garbage dumpsters. The Wall Street Journal set out to test their claims by setting up an Amazon storefront and gathering some trash.

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

Items you purchase on Amazon.com that you think are new might actually have been packaged by dumpster divers who scour trash bins to find food items they can repackage and sell on Amazon, a shocking Wall Street Journal investigation has found. The bombshell investigation reveals that Amazon.com is literally selling dumpster trash as “new” food and dietary supplements.

“Late one night several days before the store opened, reporters with flashlights and blue latex gloves visited Clifton, Clark and Paramus, N.J., scouring dumpsters behind outlets such as a Michaels craft store and a Trader Joe’s grocery,” reports the WSJ. “The bins were a humid mess of broken glass and smashed boxes, a stench of rot in the air. Several products were in original packaging, some soiled with coffee grounds, moldy blackberries or juice from a bag of chicken thighs.”

Among the trash, WSJ reporters found a jar of discarded lemon curd from Trader Joe’s. The Journal cleaned and packed the three items—bubble-wrapping and taping the curd jar—and mailed them to an Amazon warehouse in Pennsylvania in September and October. The Journal completed Amazon’s documentation requirements by specifying the items’ universal product codes, the numbers next to bar codes on most products. Amazon didn’t ask about the inventory’s origins or sell-by dates... Read The Full Story at Wall Street Journal.

‘Piglet’ The Deaf Blind Pink Puppy

Deaf, Blind and pink puppy named ‘Piglet’ inspires with his resilience.

WESTPORT, Connecticut -- Piglet, the Deaf Blind pink puppy was rescued from a hoarding situation in Georgia, USA along with his mother and 3 litter mates. He is a Dachshund and Chihuahua mix, and the product of two dapple colored parents. Dapple to dapple breeding results in a 25% chance of each puppy being “double dapple”. This double dapple color pattern is linked to congenital ear and eye defects that may result in partially or completely Deaf/Blind puppies.

NBC News: Veterinarian Melissa Shapiro rescued Piglet when he was just one pound and never gave up on him. Piglet became a viral sensation as she documented the tiny dog’s milestones on social media. A third-grade teacher saw the posts and felt so inspired that she invited Piglet to show her students the importance of perseverance.

Piglet traveled to CT on March 4, 2017 because he wasn’t doing well in the rescue. He was a 1 1/2 pound screaming baby. We were planning on fostering Piglet until he found his forever home. As things happen, his foster home was his forever home. Our family adopted Piglet in May, 2017. Read The Full Story.

Jack in the Box Worker Mocks Deaf Customer

Viral video shows Deaf California woman berated at Jack in the Box drive-thru for not using speaker to order, employee fired for refusing service.

CAMPBELL, California -- ReVae Arnaud-Jensen is not a confrontational woman. She describes herself as a hardworking, responsible, single mother of three.

But, when she tried to order at a Jack in the Box in Campbell on Aug. 31 and the man behind the counter refused her service, as captured on video, she knew she had to stand her ground.

Arnaud-Jensen is profoundly Deaf, no hearing at all. She was born that way. While she can read lips, she could not hear the voice over the speaker.

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

When she proceeded to the next window to explain, the employee was angry that she was not responding. She stayed for two hours and never got her order.

"I was just fed up, the constant, you know, telling us to go, to go, when it should be equal access," she said.

There are approximately 40 million people who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing in the United States. Arnaud-Jensen says she is fighting for the entire community. It's one of the reasons why she posted the video on Facebook.

"I don't like confrontation, but I fight for equal access," she said.

Arnaud-Jensen says she spoke to the manager of the store and was told the employee was fired. But, she is standing her ground and even pursuing legal action for this reason.

"Things done to us, not okay, I will stand and fight for that, for everyone in the community, it's for you guys, the community, not me but for them, so there will be no more suffering for the Deaf community."

She says this kind of discrimination happens to her almost every day and it needs to stop. Arnaud-Jensen says she is demanding, at the very least, that Jack In The Box train their employees, including the CEO to understand Deaf culture.

ABC7 News reached out to Jack in the Box. In a statement, they sent ABC7 this response:

"We have been informed of the incident that took place between an employee and hearing-impaired guest, in the drive-thru at a Campbell, California restaurant on August 31st. We do not tolerate the mistreatment of any customers and expect employees to follow all training procedures, be respectful, courteous and accommodating to all guests. After a thorough investigation of the incident and direct contact with the local franchise owner, we understand the employee in the video has been terminated."

Deaf Woman Suing Burger King

Deaf Oklahoma woman suing Burger King fast food restaurant after she was refused service because she's Deaf.

OKLAHOMA CITY -- An Oklahoma woman says she was refused service at a metro Burger King because she’s Deaf. Rachel Hollis says she was stopping to get food after taking her two sons to hockey practice.

“I had my order ready, I had it typed on my phone. I do that often when I go through drive-thrus, it hasn’t ever been an issue," Hollis told News 4 through an interpreter. "I show him my order, and he gives me this face of frustration.”

Hollis says she started taking a video of the incident because she was feeling uneasy, then in the video you can see the employee hand her a note that says, “Can’t do a full order at the window. Too busy.”

Eventually, the employee comes back to the window and starts arguing with Hollis.

“You have to come inside. It’s too busy. Too busy ma’am, I can’t do a full order at the window I’m sorry," the employee says to Hollis. "It has nothing to do with your disability, I have a disability too."

After that, he slams the window shut. Hollis says one of the worst parts about the whole experience was that it happened with her kids in the car.

"I could tell they knew something was going on, I was just trying to keep them calm," Hollis said. "I said I’ll explain it to you when we get home. But they knew something was going on.”

Hollis says she tries to stay calm in that moment, but she’s tired of people being treated that way.

“When I got home, that was when I really broke down. I was very upset, I was crying, I was very tired. I’m tired of discrimination,” Hollis told News 4 through an interpreter. “I’ve never experienced anything like that, for someone to call the police. That’s crazy, it just doesn’t seem right.”

There`s a big update in the case of a Deaf woman who says she was denied service at a metro Burger King: Rachel Hollis has hired a legal team to represent her, claiming the restaurant is violating the Americans with Disabilities Act.

News 4 reached out to the Burger King corporate office about the situation, in a statement Burger King said:

All guests should be treated with respect and provided with a high level of service at our restaurants. The restaurant owner has reached out to the guest and her family to apologize, the employee was terminated and all employees at the location will undergo additional sensitivity training to ensure our customers always feel welcomed.

ASL Terp Rocks The Guinness World Record

American Sign Language interpreter keeping up with the fastest rapper ever deserves her own title.

CHICAGO, IL -- At 280 words per minute, Twista clocks in as the fastest rapper of all time, so when sign language interpreter, Amber Galloway Gallego was able to keep up, word for word, with the Chicago rapper at a recent concert, the Internet was more than impressed.

In a video clip that deservedly went viral, fans can watch Amber Galloway Gallego not only keep pace with Twista (whom FiveThirtyEight declared the fastest rapper of all time in 2014 based on speed and words per minute) but emphatically bring the heat with the dexterity of her signing skills.

This isn’t the first time that Galloway Gallego, a certified American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter for nearly two decades and advocate for equal access, has gotten some major love online for her work as a sign language interpreter; her distinctive moves have shared the stage with artists like Eminem, Snoop Dogg and Kendrick Lamar, the latter’s concert giving her one of her most memorable viral moments when she captured the essence of his expletive-ridden verse on A$AP Rocky’s “F*ckin’ Problems” at Lollapalooza in 2013.

Twista's sign language interpreter hitting every single word he fires off on stage is 10/10 content. She needs a Guinness World Record as seen on pic.twitter.com/8GwEaA1Oza.

Deaf Man Finds Friendship In Deaf Dog

Deaf Floridian man adopts dog with disability, teaches pup american sign language getting the media's attention.

LAKE CITY, FL -- A Deaf man found a perfect companion when he adopted his Deaf dog. Nick Abbott first saw Emerson, a cute Black Labrador, on his Facebook News Feed when the North Florida Rescue of Maine posted the dog's picture.

Emerson was looking for a loving home. "I was drawn to him right away because we have similarities. I felt like because I know what it's like to be Deaf, I could understand him,"

Emerson was a part of a litter and all of his siblings had already been adopted.

“He is left wondering why no one wants to give him a forever home,” NFR posted alongside his picture prior to his adoption. “He wants everyone to know that even though he may be deaf, he is still an amazing little pup with SOO much love to give!” Abbott said he initially wasn’t sure if he could handle the responsibility of another dog as he already had a 7-year-old yellow Lab, but he couldn’t get Emerson out of his mind.

“I decided I should at least go meet him and see,” Abbott said. “I walked in and he came right to me and sat on my foot. It was like he already knew me…. That’s the moment that I knew.” Their bond thus far has been “awesome,” Abbott explained. Wherever he is, Emerson is nearby.

Now, Abbott is actively training Emerson. The pup is already learning commands in sign language and has been fast at picking it up.

“I didn’t know what it would be like to have a Deaf dog. I’ve never been around a Deaf dog before,” Abbott said. “I think we have been learning together as we go.”

Grumpy Cat - Internet Star Dies Aged 7

Internet sensation Grumpy Cat, Tardar Sauce passes away at 7 years old.

MORRISTOWN, Arizona -- Grumpy Cat, whose sourpuss expression entertained millions on the internet and spawned hundreds of memes, national television commercials and even a movie, died at age seven.

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

Her owners posted on social media that she experienced complications from a urinary tract infection. "She passed away peacefully on the morning of Tuesday, May 14, at home in the arms of her mommy, Tabatha," they wrote.

"Grumpy Cat has helped millions of people smile all around the world - even when times were tough," her owners said.

The cat's real name was Tardar Sauce and the owners were never sure what her breed was. Her website said her grumpy look was likely because she had a form of feline dwarfism. They said despite her face, she is cuddly and loved to be held and rubbed.

She rose to fame after her photos were posted on Reddit in 2012. Her owners said it was suggested the photo was a fake, so they posted a few videos to prove otherwise.

Since then, Grumpy Cat made appearances on "Good Morning America," ''CBS Evening News," even "American Idol" and "The Bachelorette." She's done television commercials for Honey Nut Cheerios and took photos with hundreds of fans at South by Southwest.

In 2014, Lifetime produced a movie called "Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever." She was voiced by "Parks and Recreation" star Aubrey Plaza.

Owner Tabatha Bundesen founded Grumpy Cat Ltd. and created a website that included an online shop featuring 884 items, including T-shirts and mugs with the cat's picture.

The feline's net worth was never disclosed but in 2013, her owners say it was six figures. Last year, online speculation estimated her to be worth in the millions.

Grumpy Cat had more than 8 million followers on Facebook, 2.5 million on Instagram and more than 1.5 million on Twitter.
