About Our Nationally Certified ASL Interpreters<\/strong><\/p>\n

Joel Hill is from Knoxville, Tennessee, where he learned American Sign Language as a houseparent at the Tennessee School for the Deaf. Joel has worked in the field since 1969. He has interpreted for the Texas Storytelling Festival since 1990. In his spare time he is a songwriter and member of the band Sleepy Creek.<\/p>\n

Libby Street is a professional sign language interpreter from Flag Pond, TN. Now in her 44th year of interpreting, she currently works as the Interpreter Coordinator for Tennessee Schools for the Deaf in Knoxville. Libby also works as a freelance interpreter, a workshop presenter, and a consultant on deafness, focusing on storytelling and Appalachian culture. Having deaf parents, she was always a natural communicating other people\u2019s stories through her hands. Now Libby tells her own tales about life in a colorful deaf Appalachian family.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are no interpreters most places in the world so often deaf people are excluded. For many years I have had a wonderful time at the Texas Storytelling Festival. I love being exposed to stories from other cultures and stories that are spiritual, myth, fantasy and Native American. The Texas Storytelling Festival is one of the most wonderful experiences in my life, because they provide the highest skilled interpreters.\u201d Deaf Audience Member<\/em><\/p>\n
