DHH CommUNITY Blog"},"content":{"rendered":"

We are a group of deaf and hard of hearing women from diverse backgrounds living in different parts of the country. We seek a forum to present ideas, debate issues, brainstorm solutions; we desire a supportive environment that encourages us speak freely and allows us to agree to disagree. We care about our community and we are concerned about what will become of our community years down the road. We have learned that it doesn’t matter when we became deaf or hard of hearing, what our communication preferences are, where we attended school, and if our parents are deaf or hearing – we are different yet we are the same. <\/p>\n

We share the common experience of being deaf or hard of hearing in a world that favors and depends on hearing. This shared experience is the thread that unites us and our commUNITY.<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.DHH-CommUNITY.com Blog is now open and ready for business. Please let us know what you think. This is for all of you!<\/p>\n

The DHH-CommUNITY Team: Ali, Angela, CB, Elizabeth, Erin, Julie, Leslie, Goldie, Marcella, Nancylynn, Sheri and Vikee.<\/p>\n
