A discussion vlog by Carl Schroeder: Ella Mae Lentz first suggested that I attend the Seattle Deafhood workshop with Ella herself, David Eberwein, and Genie Gertz underwritten by Sprint Relay this weekend. Let's face it: preparing myself to participate in a workshop seems an unnatural act. I don't even think I am far from the truth, but unfortunately I usually have to begin somewhere in the middle. To me, it is a bit like telling myself to cycle up a hill without a warm-up! For this vlog, I want to share my skepticism for the term Deafhood. I am also concerned about the fundamental problem within the Deaf world: the fear of being examined unworthy.
