🔥 On #IndigenousPeoplesDay, we honor the vibrant cultures and resilience of Indigenous communities—from the tribal communities in NC to Indigenous peoples across Latin America and beyond. ✨ Let’s celebrate Indigenous brilliance & support their leadership!

September is Deaf Awareness Month where we celebrate the accomplishments of people who are deaf and hard of hearing, and recognize their rich culture, language and experiences. Let’s use this month to learn, connect and advocate for greater accessibility and understanding.
