September is Deaf Awareness Month! In Deaf culture, a sign name is a unique way to identify someone without fingerspelling their name using sign language. The names reflect on the individual's character, looks, and others and it is generally devised by the Deaf person.

International Day of #SignLanguages provides a unique opportunity to support and protect the linguistic identity and cultural diversity of all deaf people and other sign language users. Empathy is the way forward!
