Sarina E. Guerra Happy Friday from People’s Press!!
We’re coming at you with another great submission from a passionate community member who intimately understands the importance of being heard 
In this story, we read about what inspired Madison Gonzalez to learn American Sign Language (ASL) and eventually become a Deaf and Hard of Hearing advocate for Self Determined Futures based in San Diego.
From contestants on America’s Next Top Model to our very own coworkers, neighbors, and friends, Madison reminds us that Deaf people are everywhere—and what they have to say matters just as much as anyone 
So if you or someone you know is in need of an advocate or simply a friend who speaks your language, there will be an opportunity to connect online with individuals who can absolutely relate. Join Self Determined Futures for a free online event set for this coming Wednesday, February 26 from 10 am to noon to collab with this integral community network and witness the power of working together.
