I want to support Include Me TOO as an ambassador and I consider myself very privileged to have been asked to represent the UK. As a Deaf person myself I want to find ways to improve the quality of life for Deaf and disabled people globally. I see a world where we are on an equal footing with others and where Deafness and disability are not seen as a barrier to inclusion as full citizens of the world. As a Deaf person who uses sign language I want to show other young Deaf people how empowered they can be and that through using sign they can have access to knowledge and information to allow them to be equal and achieve whatever goals in life they set themselves. As I know growing up finding role models like me was difficult particularly as a young Deaf black man and I think it’s important that everyone can find role models they can look up to and aspire to be like.
