A Love Story at ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ

45 years ago, a love story began when Ernie and Mencie, who came to ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ from opposite sides of the world, met through a chance encounter. Together, their journey to becoming leaders of the Deaf community commenced.

#IAm¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ Stories

Explore the stories of a variety of members of our ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ community.

The #IAm¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ campaign is part of The ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ Promise, our ten-year vision to share the story from many different angles and show that there are many different ways to be deaf. These stories are moving, insightful, and often triumphant. These also reflect the importance of the space ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ has offered to nurture the growth of a broad range of successful members of the deaf, hard of hearing, and signing community.
