Different spaces. Different vibes. Same me. 💅🏽 (nail emoji)
My code switching be like…

When I’m around non-signers
pulling out my Notes app like it’s my interpreter.

With Deaf folks
no filters, just flow.

When I’m with interpreters
Slowing down, making sure they catch every sign.

With my CODAs
voice, signs, chaos, that’s our love language.

With my Deaf crew
if you know, you know. Deaf squad energy only.

With people who think I can’t talk
they left me out, and I ain’t in the mood today.

Deaf people deserve real communication, not fake understanding and say nothing. Nawwww. Don’t waste my time! Respect my time, respect communication. Please, don’t pretend tell me if you don’t understand. It’s okay to say you don’t understand.
