VIDEO [CC] - #whyIsign Kickstarter fundraiser introduction by Brandon Kazen-Maddox.
SAN FRANCISCO -- The focus of this video is a #whyIsign Kickstarter fundraiser. This Kickstarter's goal is to create a brand-new ASL music video in collaboration with 13 Deaf, Hard-of-Hearing, CODA and GODA artists.
The Kickstarter is set at $10,000 and 80% of the money raised will go directly back to the Deaf community to support Deaf-owned and operated businesses in the Bay Area. The remaining 20% will go towards the production of the ASL music video and to pay the Deaf artists for their work in this project.
We will launch the Kickstarter at the beginning of April and it will last for one month! The link will be posted here once the fundraiser is live.
Please share this video with as many individuals, groups, and organizations as you can so we can contribute to De'Via art and our Deaf community! Thank you!

Deaf YouVideo does not appreciated regardless of the 'Deaf and Dumb' stereotypes from the Kenya Television Network on "Meet Diana Hirwa, a brilliant artist who is deaf and dumb" which a video showing an inappropriate as labeled "dumb" and it seems NOT the inspirational message to the community as well.
Diana Hirwa is Deaf and uses sign language to communicate, and the way the Kenya Television Network has chosen to portray her is quite revealing. Major news outlets from KTN to the media all decided to utilize the outdated terms 'Deaf and Dumb' in their stories about the woman. Dear ignorant media, question: What do you call Deaf people ? Answer is HERE. Educated this one, before press the media.
