A Full-Circle Moment My Books Join Gallaudet’s Deaf Collections
Today I mailed something deeply personal:
Signed copies of Signs from the Spirit and my heart and soul in book form are on their way to Gallaudet University Library to be added to their official Deaf Collections.
As a Deaf and Lumbee author, and a proud studies at Model Secondary School for the Deaf, this is more than just a donation.
Special thanks to Noah Beckman, Deaf Collections Librarian, for welcoming my stories into a space that shaped my own. These books now join the shelves of history and memory where Deaf voices, culture, and storytelling live on.
I created Silent Feather Press to make sure our voices are never forgotten.
And now, they’re exactly where they belong.
