The Power of Storytelling: Spotlighting Lived Experiences
Description:
The National Deaf Center on Postsecondary Outcomes combines years of research and data on postsecondary outcomes for deaf people with recorded video interviews. Every day deaf people look to our resources to help advocate for themselves or to provide assistance to those seeking to advocate for themselves. Sometimes data isn't enough and videos help put a face to various issues - these are stories from real people who have encountered real problems. People rarely have encounters with deaf people, so these videos help build that connection and humanize our stories.
