Thank you CCSD for awarding me the Canadian Cultural Society of the Deaf's Deaf Person of the Year in 2017. It takes a lot of hard work, sacrifices and passion to get to where I am today. So, it's a huge honour to be recognised, especially in my home country. Whatever my heart says, I conceive and believe in it then I achieve. Anything is possible!

Просмотров 3408 лет назад
One of the most signification works of Finnish literature is the Kalevala. In the 19th century, Elias Lönnrot complied Karelian poetry into epic Finnish folklore. Elävä Taulu (The Living Frame) tells a story of a bout between two men, Väinämöinen and Ilmarinen, in a bid to win the hand of the Maiden of the North. All characters were performed by Dawn Jani Birley and the show was directed by Mar...

Why I sign? I am glad you asked... For me, I did not have a choice because it came natural to me just like fish take to water. I was born to third generation Deaf family so I always had access to communication. My mighty pillars of ASL and Deaf identity led to where I am today, a successful actor, adventurer and philanthropist...

    Very beautiful artistic interpretation of the national anthem for the deaf ... understandable even with articulation, so that the content of the text is easier to get "into the veins" of deaf and hearing people as easily as possible ❤❤❤

    Wow! Dawn, the ripple-waves reach Germany ;) I remember practising the "pledge" a long time ago. In this time I just pointed at my eye when came in contact with hearing. With similar positive results as you told. So I´ll try it again - thank you for your inspiration :-) And yeah, more things could be changed - in the world and in our mind if we keep on walking with open eyes through the world. I think one of further examples of unnoticed audism is the German (and ASL?) sign of "deaf". Why do we still use the sign for "deaf and dumb"? So do I but I want to change that too ;-)) Anyway, I´m looking forward for further challenges in 2016 :)) Best greetings from Munich!

    Hi Dawn.... That is really interesting. I understand that you said woman with ear is for woman who mostly wears earrings. I use the other way round in school with international learners. I asked them what they signed and make sure it is clear for them till they understand asl.... Great sharing.... Christine

  • @phoenixbleu4550
    @phoenixbleu4550 9 лет назад

    I don't like the earring sign for women because men can have their ears pierced too, it reinforces gender roles. Men don't have breast and breasts are nothing to be ashamed of, so the sign should not shame you.

    • @dawnjanibirley8019
      @dawnjanibirley8019 8 лет назад

      +MarkDeafMcGuire ... sign languages like any other languages are always evolving... I actually use both signs for 'woman' depending on where I am and for whom I am signing for because both are in use. For me, there is no right or wrong and people have their own opinions on everything...

    Awesome. I am a beginner ASL student and I want to teach my kindergarten class to sign O'Canada in ASL. This version of O'Canada is my favourite out of all that I could find on RUclips. I like the way signing is gracefully flowing in a dance like motion with a beautiful facial expressions in this interpretation. I just wish I could have signs matched with words to break them down for speaking children before signing the whole song. I had hard time understanding when signs did not much the lyrics and I could not read lips such as between parts, "...Native's land" and "True North". Thanks for posting.
