This week I wanted to share one of my favourite families that pops up on my Instagram feed. I have been following Christina for probably a year or two and her content always brings a smile to my face. She has a son and a daughter. Her son is hearing, and her daughter is deaf, and has cochlear implants. Her content mainly consists of communicating with her children- sometimes without speech, only using ASL, and other times using both ASL and verbal language.
This video in particular is regarding her daughter’s communities that she is a part of. Christina points out that her daughter is a part of the Deaf community just as much as her other communities, and that she can show that she is proud to be within it by telling her teachers the next day.
Christina chooses to include comical content, but also videos that provide a lesson or a type of learning opportunity for her children and it is a really beautiful thing to watch.
You can find her Instagram profile here to check her out!
