When I first stepped into this work, I wasn’t thinking about becoming a business owner. I was focused on filling a gap, a silence that too many were ignoring.
As a Deaf woman, I saw firsthand how often people misunderstood what true inclusion means. And I saw how easily that misunderstanding turned into inaction because of myths, fear, or simply not knowing where to start.
So I began with what I did know: communication.
How it feels when it’s missing. And how powerful it is when it’s done right.
Through the support of incredible women in the WeCan group, and my training with the Rick Hansen Foundation, I’ve deepened not only my knowledge but my capacity to lead. These experiences didn’t just teach me business skills, they reminded me that what I bring to the table is valuable. Needed. Timely.
That’s why I founded SignAble Vi5ion.
Not to preach but to equip.
Not to shame but to open eyes.
I provide interpreters in my sessions, not for me, but for the hearing people attending. I don’t want them to get lost in discomfort or confusion. I want them to see that what I teach is grounded in common sense. That inclusion doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive, it just has to be intentional.
In every workshop, I meet people who thought accessibility was beyond them. That it was too much to learn or too hard to get right.
But then they experience the training. And they realize, it’s doable. It’s practical. It’s overdue.
This isn’t about doing business the traditional way.
This is about changing the way we work, listen, and include – starting now.
