Lessons from the field: A debrief among colleagues - 0.125

$12.65

Episode Info:

In this episode, Sherrette, Paris and I unpack the realities of interpreting beyond what’s taught —everything from working into English to finding flexibility in a field that often starts with rigidity. We talk about the importance of trust, human connection, and the subtle feedback we give Deaf clients as we work into English. We also explore community expectations and the experiences of Black Deaf professionals seeking culturally aligned interpreters. It’s an open, honest conversation about what we’re seeing in the field today and how interpreters can continue to grow, show up, and better support the communities we work with.
