HANDS. HEART. HISTORY.

As we celebrate the 10 year anniversary of Sign1News during Deaf Awareness Month, I want to recognize the Deaf team members (including those not pictured) who brought their hands, their hearts, their expertise, and their lived experiences to this work. You didn't simply contribute to the journey. YOU HELPED DEFINE IT. For a decade, your professionalism, passion, ideas, and pursuit of excellence helped us tell stories, serve our community, break barriers, and demonstrate what authentic representation can look like when Deaf people are not simply included—but are integral to the work. To every Deaf team member who shared your gifts with Sign1News: THANK YOU! Thank you for the hands that communicated. The hearts that cared. The minds that created. The voices and perspectives that mattered. And the excellence that continues to make **Sign1News history.** Here's to 10 years of hands, heart, and history. 🤟🏾 And here's to the Deaf excellence that made the journey possible. **Happy Deaf Awareness Month—and Happy 10th Anniversary, Sign1News!**
