I had an incredible opportunity to speak to students at California State University-Northridge in Los Angeles today. I gave a talk about my works as a deaf filmmaker and discussed how I got into filmmaking, and I offered some helpful advice and suggestions. It was great to meet all the professors and students. I feel lucky to share my voice with others. 

On April 5 (Thursday), I will give a talk to college students about my works as a Deaf filmmaker (open to the public).

On April 6 (Friday), I will give a free workshop to deaf artists about brand awareness.
​
Lastly, on April 7 (Saturday), I will perform at the deaf festival! Please see the flyers below.

Note: I will also present an interactive workshop on Sunday afternoon about creative expression, storytelling and communication. It is free and open to all students.

I was asked to create and develop three workshops for students at New Mexico School for the Deaf in Santa Fe, New Mexico. They are learning to write poetry over a course of months. Since I am known to be an ASL poet and performance artist, the school asked me to be involved for the Final Day on March 25.

I created a few videos along with a detailed workshop curriculum for the students. My curriculum focused on the elements of performance and using those to analyze and perform poetry.

The workshops were a huge hit and the students greatly enjoyed them! Big thanks to Shira G. for inviting me to participate.
