If you passed through Hagatna this morning, you may have been met with a spirited wave in honor of Deaf and Hard of Hearing Awareness Month!

Students from the Guam Community College’s American Sign Language program gathered in the heart of the capital, holding signs that read “Inclusion Matters” and “Don’t drown them out.”

And the conversation doesn’t stop there—tune in to our upcoming episode of the KUAM Podcast Network’s Off the Record, where we sit down with long-time educators and advocates Kirsten Rosario and Kevin-Lizama Reyes to talk about language access, breaking down barriers, and how we can all do more to support the community.
