Deaf Zoom Meetings: ASL Rule 62 Group has a CDI on Mondays.
ASL Rule 62, ASL Night Owls, ASL Experience, Strength and Hope and ASL Serenity Sisters all "spotlight" active speaker. We encourage members with light skin to wear dark colors (black, navy blue, brown, dark green, etc.) and light colors (off-white, tan, peach, etc.) for persons with dark skin. The goal is to wear clothing that contrasts with skin tone so that it's easy to see your hands.
