Tired of memorizing vocabulary but still feeling lost when it’s time to actually sign? Same. After seeing non-signers' anxiety skyrocket, I started making zines with effective communication solutions. Now, I offer untraditional sign language sessions over Zoom to help break that cycle.

You’ll get a laid-back, open-ended space where we dive into real, conversational American Sign Language— at your pace, with your goals.

Here’s what you can expect in sessions:

Chill vibes: No pressure, no judgment. Come as you are.
Real talk: Practice signing that actually works outside the classroom.
Your agenda: Bring questions, topics, or anything you’re curious about. This is your space.
Inclusive: 100% LGBTQIA+ friendly. Everyone’s welcome.
Worry-free: Absolute beginner? Cool. I'll slow down my signing and/ we can use typing if needed.
Open-ended: Want to focus on Deaf culture, slang, or specific topics? Or process your thoughts about your Deaf great-grandfather who never learned sign language. We can talk about that, too.

This isn’t just a lesson — it’s a conversation. Let’s connect, sign, and make sign language part of your world. Sign up to learn sign language and dismantle audism simultaneously! Or enjoy my zines at https://www.ko-fi.com/thatdeafzinester.
