Bruce Jenner's Interview


It's about selfness - Bruce Jenner came out as a woman few days ago in the interview. I applaud and support him for coming out BUT I considered him as selfish because in the past, we fought for the rights and so on. We suffered through the hell for more than 40 years include Harvey Milk. He came out just like that? That's cheap-shot right there and he could've done something in the past with us and probably fought the rights for LGBT for Olympics, but he didn't. It disappointed me that he "let" the society to fight for his right to come out when the thing calms down. I'm glad he did come out.

I made this video to ask you all for the opinion based on BJ's coming out story. Please be civil and your opinion is accepted.

MDCR (Michigan Department of Civil Rights)



This video letter is for the agency, Michigan Department of Civil Rights. They claimed that they are advocating us which it is not true. There were some incidents in the hospital and few Deaf patients were having the trouble to get an interpreter, but have no help from MDCR which is sad. So please send them the loud message, you can share this video as you may. Let's spread the words to show that MDCR is accountable for the problem in Michigan that causes a lot of Deaf patients to feel lost and can't get any legal help from them. I am aware that they are not the agency to help us with the legal BUT they knows the interpreters law and they are the one who wrote PA204 and so on. So they should advocate us but lately, they are not. Where are you, Michigan Department of Civil Rights? MDCR, you should be shamed of what you guys causes.

Don't tell me to contact them, I did few times and none of them responded. (No update lately)

Terrified? Don't be. Stand up and fix the issue. Please share this post to send the message to MDCR & DODDBHH for not taking action toward to the issue. If you say that you guys did, I want to see you TRY harder.

What are you guys doing? Sit back and enjoy the drama between Deaf Community and Interpreting Agencies?

If none of the solution has been solve, you can write a letter to DODDBHH & MDCR -
110 W. Michigan Ave., Suite 800
Lansing, MI 48933
P: 517-241-6300

Note: This is not purpose to destroy or attack them, just send them that we are not happy with the interpreters' problem in Lansing area and the hospital itself.

Cycle2Give - a fantastic organization!

Readers,




Here I am AGAIN! Yes, you might get tired of reading this because I recently posted previous post. Anyway, I am starting off with this interesting organization. :)

Cycle2Give (Formerly Cycle4DeafandBlind)

Janna, one of my good friend and she's an interpreter for Deaf community in Michigan. So she loves to interact with Deaf and enjoy the music. She have the passion into biking, whatever you think, she can do it! :)

She wanted to turn her biking into something that can change the world. Thought at first set up the organization for Deaf and Blind, teamed up with Don DeBusk , and it was success. Now this year, she wanted to do it AGAIN with Don DeBusk since their fundraising and earned few thousands to donated to Deaf and Blind organization in Michigan last year. (Janna and Don, you can criticize me as you guys desired. ;) HA!)

They changed the name from Cycle4DeafandBlind to Cycle2Give so they can continue biking for each charity every year which it is really interesting and fantastic idea! Of course, I personally love and honored to be Janna and Don's friend. They are absolutely wonderful people, trust me.

I wanted to do this again by spreading the word about their organization. You actually can check their blog - Link check it out for more information! It's worth to donate and it will go to the militaries this year, great is it!? DONATE!

You can make the donation to this page - Cycle2Give any $ can make the differences.

I asked Janna for the permission to use this image and she approved it.

Enjoy this article and check their organization out. It's really cool! <3

I took some pictures last year. :)

Me and the only Janna!
