Chat 71: Kirsty: A brilliant sign language interpreter and deaf awareness campaigner...

from TWWork

In this inspiring chat, Kirsty talks about how she helps deaf people in lessons, to learn; in interviews, to get jobs; but perhaps most prevalently, in healthcare, to deliver diagnosis, advice, and sometimes, very tragic, terminal news to people. It's beyond humbling.Kirsty also talks about the nuances of signing, and how body language and different signs are needed to portray tone and meaning... It's NOT just hand gestures. Which makes total sense when you think about it.... The problem is, not many of us do think about it, and if we do, we certainly don't think about it enough.Please meet Kirsty.....** Music used is under licence by TWW from Audiio.com.
