The narrator appears dark skinned male and speaks in ASL:
Speech:
Narrator: Hello, welcome to this video.

This short clip comes from a longer panel discussion held at the 2022 Allied Media Conference. 

The panel discussion was about DCCW, Deaf Community Cultural Wealth. 

I invite you to enjoy the video.

The screen shifts to show text: Stay together! Act Together!

Ronise Barrera appears light skinned female and speaks in ASL, Ronise’s Zoom square remains lit while the others are darkened by a shade:
 Speech:
And the other
layer to that is,

my family always spoke
Spanish, not English.

Historically, most black
people here speak English.

So when you think
about education,

I don't know, we're struggling

with a second language,
a home language.

Again, I don't really know,

I’m trying to
un-pack.

Flavia: Yeah. Tia.

Description: Now Tia’s video square becomes bright while the others are shaded.  Tia, appears female and dark skinned, she speaks in ASL:
Speech:
Tia: I do want to mention that

BIPOC communities across
the board really need to be

mindful of how we
protect each other

and not buy into the beliefs of

what white communities
or larger society

is saying about

different BIPOC
communities because that's

just a form of oppression
that they're trying to divide

and control what we're

saying and resisting
that is important.

It's so important that BIPOC
communities stay together.

If not, things could just
escalate and become worse.

Many different communities

are wondering what's going on.

It's important that
we connect with each

other and have conversations.

We don't want to fall into
belief that there's not

enough information for everyone.

We don't want to fall into

those false beliefs that
the system is portraying.

It becomes a barrier to people.

 
We have to be mindful
and be careful

that not to believe one
community is better than another.

All of us are in a shitty
situation frankly.

Description: All Zoom squares are lit for a short time then they all go dark again except for Rosemary, appearing light skinned and female she speaks in ASL.
Speech:
Rosemary: I just want to
add a quick comment.

I think it's important

and I absolutely agree with everybody,

but we don't want to get into

this identity
Olympic competition.

I think everyone here
has been saying on

this entire meeting is

wonderful and it's all
about those connections,

and what we can add
to the situation.

And I think that
resistance then becomes

a response to the
system of oppression

and taking advantage of us
and marginalizing us that we

need to come together to
resist as a response,

and say, "That's it.

We've had enough." You all
need to change the system.

What exactly dismantle
the whole thing?

Dismantle the system?

Let's get something new
in place. Excuse me.

Yeah.

Dismantle the system.
