SUMMARY:Movie Showings: Marlee Matlin "Not Alone Anymore"
DESCRIPTION:Join Us for an Inspiring Film Event! \nNext Friday\, July 11\, we’re excited to open Marlee Matlin: Not Alone Anymore at the Glenwood Arts Theatre in Overland Park\, KS. This powerful new documentary highlights Marlee Matlin’s groundbreaking journey as a Deaf actress and activist\, offering an emotional and uplifting look at her life\, career\, and impact. \nShowtimes (July 11–16):\n🕐 Daily (except Sunday) at 1:15 PM & 7:15 PM\n🕐 Sunday at 1:15 PM only \nPlease spread the word—like all of our films\, it will only continue to show based on ticket sales. Let’s help make this story seen and heard! \n  \n \n  \n  \nMarlee Matlin was born into a hearing family\, like roughly 95% of Deaf people. Growing up in Illinois\, she faced episodes of isolation and abuse. She found joy in performing at a local deaf theater. In 1987\, Marlee Matlin became the first Deaf actor to win an Academy Award and was thrust into the spotlight at 21 years old. Reflecting on her life in her primary language of American Sign Language\, NOT ALONE ANYMORE explores the complexities of what it means to be a trailblazer. As a child\, filmmaker Shoshannah Stern was inspired to believe that a deaf woman like herself could pursue a career as an actor after seeing Matlin win her Oscar. Stern’s directorial debut is an intimate\, honest\, and loving conversation between two profoundly connected people that weaves together Matlin’s first-person account with interviews from those who know her best.

DESCRIPTION:Affinity Group: New and Emerging Interpreters \nThe journey of a new interpreter is filled with both excitement and challenges.

SUMMARY:Presentation: Poet of the Rebellion: Laura Redden Searing
DESCRIPTION:Poet of the Rebellion:Laura Redden Searing and Deaf History in Missouri\n\n\n\nIn recent years\, the Deaf community has gained greater visibility in popular culture. The success of CODA (2021)\, starring Deaf actors Troy Kotsur and Marlee Matlin\, along with Nyle DiMarco’s groundbreaking achievements as the first Deaf winner of Dancing with the Stars and America’s Next Top Model\, showcase this shift. Yet\, Deaf Americans have been shaping history and defying barriers since before our nation’s founding. \nLawrence Yates\, President of the Missouri Association of the Deaf\, and Becky M. Davis\, Executive Director of the Missouri Commission for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing\, will highlight the extraordinary life of one Deaf Missourian: Laura Redden Searing. A gifted poet and journalist\, Searing published under both her own name and the pen name Howard Glyndon. During the Civil War\, The St. Louis Republican sent her to Washington\, D.C.\, where she not only reported on the conflict\, but also wrote poems about the events she witnessed on the battlefield. Join us as Yates and Davis share how\, despite living as a Deaf woman in the 19th century\, Searing rose to become one of the leading literary voices of her day\, defying the presumed limitations of her disability.\nPHOTO: Laura Redden Searing: Black and white picture of a white woman with her hair pulled back wearing dangling earrings and a dark long-sleeved dress outfit.  She is holding a rod in her hand.\n  \nAmerican Sign Language/English Interpreter will be provided.\nPresented By: \nFriends of the Missouri State Archives\nDates:\nApril 17\, 2025\n\n\nVisit Website \nAdd to Calendar

SUMMARY:These Hands: Black and Brown Interpreters Virtual Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Affinity Group: Black and Brown Interpreters \nThis affinity group provides a vital space for interpreters who identify as Black or Brown to connect\, support\, and uplift one another. Within the interpreting field\, as in many professions\, individuals from marginalized communities can face unique challenges related to representation\, access\, and equity. This group fosters a sense of community\, allowing members to share experiences\, discuss strategies for navigating professional obstacles\, and advocate for greater diversity and inclusion within the interpreting profession. This group also serves as a space to discuss general interpreting issues. Members can share and explore ethical dilemmas\, best practices\, and the evolving landscape of the interpreting field\, all within a supportive environment where shared cultural understandings and lived experiences enhance the depth of these professional conversations.  All meetings are virtual and conducted in American Sign Language (ASL). \nIf not already a member and interested in more information\, contact: thesehands@strideinterpreting.com \n
