As interpreters, we are usually the only ones in the room who understand what everyone else is saying. Often times, our Hearing and Deaf clients have very different world views and we feel stuck in the middle.

Come learn with this unique mother-daughter team as we discover strategies for cultural bridge-building! Presented in sign language
