We were honored to welcome Deanne Bray-Kotsur to RIT/NTID’s ASL Lecture Series, where she shared her powerful journey of Deaf identity. Deanne’s story, deeply rooted in the bond with her father, highlights the strength, love, and resilience that shaped her identity and inspired her path. Her experiences offer a meaningful reflection of Deaf culture and the beauty of embracing one’s Deaf self. Thank you, @deannebraykotsur , for inspiring our community with your presentation, your journey, and you

Deanne didn't fool around in high school or college — and the longer it's taken, the more awkward it's become to bring up! She shares her journey on the new series Virgins, Monday at 9/8c on TLC. #TLCVirgins | TLC
