“I hope you realize you are more than what people think you are. Be the difference and be loud.”

These words just reached a pain I forgot I buried so deep within me. And that title??

Preview of Marlee Matlin’s “Not Alone Anymore” has me ugly crying in < 2 minutes 😭

I don't ever post videos of me signing, practicing or learning ASL? I mean I post daily on my socials. Why no ASL videos?

Because I'm not learning ASL to center myself, it's not my place as a hearing person, and I want to lift up Deaf content creators and be an ally.

Some actual good Deaf representation? Yes. Please. Check out my blog for “a sign of affection!” They actually used a sign language cordinator!

Leah Katz-Hernandez, a Deaf Latina leader, made history as the White House ROUS under Obama. Fluent in ASL, she’s breaking barriers across politics and advocacy. Visibility matters.

I'm recruiting hearing parents with deaf children aged 7 years or under who read picture books. Parents views on their experiences of reading picture books with deaf characters will be invaluable. Please share. Thank you! #deafchildren #deafrepresentation #hearingparents #picturebooks #phdresearch

Review: Fine Line by E.M. Lindsey 4 of 5 stars

MP Book Reviews on Instagram: "Review: Fine Line by E.M. Lindsey 4 of 5 stars Paris moves to Key Largo for a fresh start, but he quickly finds himself drawn to his sweet, Deaf neighbour, Ben — even after overhearing Ben’s very enthusiastic nights with his FWB. Ben’s kindness and quiet charm stir feelings Paris has never let himself want. Despite his tough exterior, Paris longs to open up and be vulnerable, hoping Ben will have the patience to wait while he learns how to believe in something real. This story hit me right in the heart. Paris’s dysfunctional childhood — one that taught him not to trust, not to hope, and certainly not to form real relationships — shaped so much of who he is. Watching him slowly unlearn that pain was incredibly moving. And Ben’s experience as a Deaf man surrounded by hearing people who never bothered to learn sign language added its own layer of quiet heartbreak. His loneliness was different from Paris’s, but just as deep. What made the book shine was the connection between them. Their chemistry, their passion, and the way they instinctively understood each other created something tender and powerful. Seeing them build a space where both could finally feel seen was beautiful. A heartfelt, emotional romance that balances vulnerability, desire, and the slow, steady work of healing. This was an MM story with mature content. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0BSPBMK6T"

A Handful of Spells has that magical academy nostalgia — one centered on access, language, identity, and belonging. One that lets a Deaf or hard-of-hearing child open a book and find magic waiting for them.

Read my full review on my blog, or watch it on YouTube! #deafrepresentation #authorktjames
A Deaf Magical Academy? Yes, Please.
This is a book review for A Handful of Spells by Kimberley A. Shaw. I grew up in the height of the Harry Potter era. And while She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named has made the series complicated for many of us, the story of discovering you’re special and whisked away to a magical school? That theme shaped an entire generation. So when I saw a magical academy story centered on a hard-of-hearing girl, I didn’t hesitate.
