The Interpreter: Sharing a candidate's message w/ the deaf and hard of hearing

Description

<p>Mona Jean Cedar is a sign language interpreter who works at political events. I met her at a Beto O'Rourke rally in Los Angeles where she was on stage the entire time with the candidate. She interpreted Beto's passionate message for the deaf and hard of hearing community.&nbsp;</p> <p>I had the pleasure of speaking with her on my stream about her background with American Sign Language (ASL) and what it is like to be on stage with a candidate running for President of the United States of America.</p> <p>I'm a firm believer that bringing your unique talents to activism can be an amazingly rewarding experience. And hearing Mona Jean share her stories was the affirmation I had always hoped for.&nbsp;</p> <p>Mona Jean's website: <a href="http://www.pasdasl.com/"><strong>http://www.pasdasl.com/</strong></a></p> <p>imreallyimportant's Twitch: <a href="https://twitch.tv/imreallyimportant" target="_blank"><strong>https://twitch.tv/imreallyimportant</strong></a></p> <p>imreallyimportant's Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/imreallyimprtnt" target="_blank"><strong>https://twitter.com/imreallyimprtnt</strong></a></p> <p>imreallyimportant's Instagram: <a href="https://instagram.com/imreallyimportant" target="_blank"><strong>https://instagram.com/imreallyimportant</strong></a></p> <p>imreallyimportant's Discord: <a href="https://discord.gg/PXdXdcA" target="_blank"><strong>https://discord.gg/PXdXdcA</strong></a></p>
