I'm slowly uploading pictures from #Sign10 in Trinidad for all that couldn't attend. It was worth all the effort to attend. #Sign10 invited the local deaf communities to attend the conference. I met so many people, think I left a bit of my heart with them in Trinidad.

I found motivation when I attended the panel discussion on the Deaf Caribbean Academic Network at #Sign10. I was empowered to see how the deaf academics used Video Diaries and in person meetings to help cope with inequities and inaccessibilities in education.
