[Young Black man with long natural hair slicked back into an afropuff ponytail. He is wearing a denim like button up shirt and signing in front of a brick wall painted off white. He signs the following in ASL:
Hello my name is Malik Morris’s. Sign name [MM]. I’m a member of HEARD.

This vlog is for terms you need to know prior to future vlogs so that if you currently are struggling you are able to follow along better.
These terms were collected from those imprisoned and their signs, HEARD and our signs, and we would like to hear your input on these terminologies or other things you would like to know the signs for or are unsure of. Please feel free to add them in the comments below any of our blogs. We at HEARD will collect them and use them to work together.

Let’s begin.

[sign: four fingers from each hand held against each other with one hand perpendicular, brought from left to right.] another sign is [left hand held horizontally, right hand in “hold” shape repeatedly brought under left hand mouth is puffed air out to indicate a whole lot face is indicating a whole lot also].
Next sign is Jail.
The two signs are [two fingers from each hand held against each other perpendicular]
or

Next sign is prison
[four fingers from each hand held against each other, either tapping or held together and rocking.]
Immigration
