Black Deaf Guy
Thomas Irish
This podcast is designed to inspire you to be the best version of yourself. Thomas discussed his personal experience and how being a black deaf person affects him. In 2018, Thomas had the time of his life at university, studying and doing research, but at the end of the year, his father passed away, and his entire world was flipped upside down. Now, he is sharing and asking questions about how the world and society influence him as a black deaf person, both academically and in his daily life.
I was very close to dropping out of university!
I can only speak for myself, but there was a period when I thought about dropping out when I was an undergraduate and master's student at the university. It is because of my deafness and the obstacles I faced. However, a few people altered my life and helped me, and that is how I discovered my interest in the academic world. I shared my personal experience with deaf people and those considering attending university, as well as what to look out for.
