Transcript

What is havehave?

havehave is something Deaf people use in a few different sign languages, for example American Sign Language, Auslan (Australian Sign Language) and British Sign Language. Although each language has its own sign for the word 'have', across languages Deaf people often sign it twice in rapid succession to signify they have something to share with you.

e.g. Advice havehave, History havehave, Story havehave

Past, present and future

We want share the full complexity of our Deafness and the depth of our identities. To do that, we will encourage our contributors to look into their past, present and future. To share their advices, histories and stories.

Examples

Past — anecdotal, e.g. Sharing personal stories
Present — topical, e.g. Black Lives Matter
Future — advice & ideas, e.g. shaping a better future for Deaf community

What will it look like on our Instagram?
