First Collaboration with the Disability Advocacy Network and Bridge Language Services was a Success!

On June 10, 2025,  ASL Deaf Chat proudly hosted our first collaboration with the Disability Advocacy Network and Bridge Language Services. The event was filled with energy, connection, and an incredible turnout from the community! We were thrilled to see Deaf community members, students, and allies come together to celebrate inclusion and advocacy. This wonderful event marked the beginning of many more opportunities to collaborate, raise awareness, and continue strengthening our community.

ASL Deaf Chat x TampaKind!

ASL Deaf Chat is grateful for the opportunity to connect with TampaKind, part of the City of Tampa’s Community Engagement Team. TampaKind shared their excitement about ASL Deaf Chat’s expansion into Tampa and their support for creating spaces that highlight Deaf culture while strengthening connections between Deaf and hearing communities.

These early conversations have been both encouraging and inspiring, and we look forward to exploring opportunities to collaborate with the City of Tampa as we continue building bridges, fostering inclusion, and celebrating community together.
