Trudy Suggs wrote very good article at Deaf Professional Network website about deaf-owned business. My business parnter and I know we can relate to this one. This is a must read for all deaf-owned business.

I think it’s very important for deaf people to support deaf owners,” says Joel Barish of DeafNation, based in Frederick, Md. “I call it Deaf Economics – with more people supporting deaf businesses, there will be more job opportunities for deaf people because deaf business owners are more likely to hire deaf people more than anyone else. As a result, they can empower each other by working together or supporting each other. At the same time, with this support, visibility and networking will grow beyond the deaf community into the hearing community. It’s unfortunate that many people can’t see the bigger picture and will only chase the cheapest rates or prices instead of supporting deaf-owned businesses. — Trudy Suggs
