Here’s how we sign Derrick Rose’s name in ASL!
VD: Derrick Rose is wearing a white t-shirt and a green apron, smiles and signs his name in ASL while looking directly at the camera. He has a beard, glasses, and a tattoo on his arm, with a microphone attached to his apron. The text “MY SIGN DERRICK ROSE” appears at the bottom. QB then grabs the phone, signs “That’s Derrick Rose! His sign name!” while wearing a blue and white jacket, with her blonde hair styled in tight curls.
Chop the baby potatoes and melt some butter in a pan. When the butter melts, add the potatoes and cook until tender. While the potatoes are cooking, chop the green pepper, jalapeño, and chicken sausage. Once the potatoes are tender, add the green pepper and jalapeño, then season with garlic powder. In a separate pan, scramble the eggs, and just before they’re done, add the cheese to melt. Finally, toss the chopped chicken sausage into the pan with the potatoes and vegetables, mix everything together, and serve!
VD: QB is standing in a kitchen with wooden cabinets in the background. She has long, straight, light blue hair and is wearing a leopard-print headscarf and a light gray hoodie.
Communication access is a right, not a choice. As a Deaf individual, my interpreter made sure that I am included in every conversation whether or not it’s about me. I believe it’s important for people to understand that interpreters are there to translate everything, without exceptions. Don’t ask them to leave out parts of the conversation every word matters.
VD: QB with blue hair and long white nails. She is wearing a white shirt with a gold butterfly necklace and a gold ring on her finger. She has a nose piercing and a tattoo on her arm.
The text overlay on the video reads “As a Deaf person, the interpreter is my ‘ear.’” As a Deaf person, the interpreter is my ‘ear.’ They translate everything that’s said in the room, so I’m fully included in every conversation. Don’t tell the interpreter to not interpret what was said they will always interpret, no matter what.

VD: A dimly lit restaurant with a staff. The restaurant is mostly empty, with only a 2 deaf people sitting at tables. The walls are a dark color. There is a caption on the image that says “In Deaf culture, we often don’t realize when it’s just the three of us left after everyone else has gone, and the staff lets us enjoy our night. It’s the best feeling ever, especially because we tend to operate on ‘Deaf standard time’!”
