Gratis | Why Black Deaf Studies: Global Perspectives in Ireland | Deaf Studies Digital Journal
Lydia Gratis shared her poignant journey of navigating dual identities - being Black and Deaf - at the CBDS presentation. Born in South Africa and raised in Ireland, Lydia's narrative uncovers the nuanced challenges of racial and ability biases. With no Black Deaf role models, she experienced alienation and was forced to confront systemic racism early in her academic journey. Lydia’s struggle to reconcile her identity and the inherent systemic biases culminated in a powerful awakening. With her organization Saved By The Sign and her position as the President of EUDY (European Deaf Youth), she’s now a vanguard for change, advocating for the recognition, inclusion, and empowerment of Black Deaf individuals in Europe and beyond. The narrative underscores the pivotal role of representation and systemic transformation in fostering inclusivity and equity.
