    Thank you for this interview! I will subscribe to Nakia’s channel. I appreciate the fact noted by Nakia’s grandfather that deaf people are “human” and the “same”. I was amazed to learn the reason BASL was developed was due to segregation. Not like being deaf on its own in a hearing world has its challenges. 🙄 Racism and many other isms are the dumbest concept that fuels so much on this Bizarro planet. The majority of us who want better change will make it so.

    Thank you for this interview. I am hearing but I am also a GODA (granddaughter of a deaf adult) and live in Washington, DC. I learned to speak sign language from my grandparents and there friends. I am also a member of Shiloh Baptist Church where for many years we had a large black deaf congregation. I have just recently been hearing about BASL. I think I have always spoke BASL! It was so good to hear from a deaf persons perspective. Your grandparents remind me of mine (who have passed on) and I am interested in learning more signs and will continue to follow you. Great to see a deaf person of color posting on social media! Thank you again.

    I've always had an interest in learning SL Love this young lady and her family. Heart warming♥️🌞. SL is awesome to know, as it is another language, and a very expressive language, I might add. This young lady is awesome. Sorry that this ran 3 yrs ago, and. I am just now seeing it, but still resonates

    And in watching these I love seeing how BASL has influenced ASL and that it is getting it's recognition.

    My ASL teacher was post lingually deaf, and his wife was profoundly Deaf. I wouldn't learn from a hearing person Unless they were raised by their Deaf family. I even learned pigeon sign or home sign from them. My Interpreter instructor was the only hearing member of his family. He told the class that it was His first language and the teachers at his school would tie his hands down to force him to speak. This was many many years ago ❤

    One evening last week I couldn't hear my television, the elevator bell, the toilet flushing, my building's LOUD fire alarm. Then the PAIN, an ear infection! I already lost hearing in my left ear, years ago, but I'm alright if I'm close enough to touch someone. Crowds, what's behind me, machines that hum, car motors, traffic, all problems. A phone is close enough if there's no other noise or music or television-or worse-a speaker phone!
    Now that I don't hear anything, I'm looking up the signing I know I'd be using. But you go so fast, isn't there a way to slow it down some? And shouldn't I start with the alphabet and my name, and maybe a few most-common words? At this speed I'm hopeless.
    Please help me to help myself. And I'll teach it to my great-grandchildren.

    5th generation? Damn! I'd love to see some 'ASL police' hearing interpreters try to 'correct' her sign.

    Still I am subscribed for TH-cam in both Z5-MAX(Desktop) and ZAGG 1-PAD-6 only. I haven't used Tik Tok video. Previously I have heard about BASL (Black ASL) being bit different from ASL as I really wonder in a fact.
