We were honored to welcome Deanne Bray-Kotsur to RIT/NTID’s ASL Lecture Series, where she shared her powerful journey of Deaf identity. Deanne’s story, deeply rooted in the bond with her father, highlights the strength, love, and resilience that shaped her identity and inspired her path. Her experiences offer a meaningful reflection of Deaf culture and the beauty of embracing one’s Deaf self. Thank you, @deannebraykotsur , for inspiring our community with your presentation, your journey, and you

Huge congratulations to @troykotsur on this historic moment in our community. It’s been 35 years since since a Deaf person was nominated for an Academy Award and we thought we’d gather old friends and collaborators from throughout the thirty years that Troy has been with our company to say to the world: we told you so. And to our friend: we can’t wait for what is to come next and we look forward to following in your footsteps. Daniel N Durant Deanne Bray John Maucere Christina Dunams Paul Raci J
