I recommend that the best way to learn about anything is to embrace yourself within the community.
1) https://www.instagram.com/bsltoday/ My very good friend. Whilst she is from the hearing community, she ensures that she is the number one ally for the Deaf community. If anyone has seen the video of me presenting an award at The Empowerment Awards you will have noticed her pushing up on the stage before interpreting for me.
2) https://www.tiktok.com/@justmecameil Asha is a nurse who shares a lot of BSL signs both medical and everyday. In addition to this she journals any struggles gaining things like Access to Work. Something needed for her to help people. Asha also does lots of live events on Tiktok. 3) https://www.tiktok.com/@adeleonova
Last up is Adele......... no not the singer. Adele like the other two accounts is determined to help people improve and learn BSL in a fun way. Adele includes some BSL to song as well, a really fun way to pick up BSL.
