This is a list of various deaf influencers, content creators and performers to follow on social media.
Actually Deaf Influencers and Performers on Social Media
This is the thing. ASL is popular with a lot of people, not just Deaf folks. There are many, many hearing people who teach ASL on social media, make content around ASL
This content might be free or paid, but either way, it doesn’t make sense AND it literally takes away from the Deaf community. Putting it in a metaphor, would you really want to learn Japanese from some white dude who spent a summer in Japan a few years ago, or from someone who is actually Japanese?
If you chose “someone who is actually Japanese,” then this post is for you! Tons of actually Deaf influencers, content creators and performers linked below, in alphabetical order. Let me know if I missed any, and thanks for giving them a follow, share and for supporting actually Deaf creators.
