Expertise: Sign Language
Jazzy Whipps is a Deaf YouTuber who was born profoundly deaf in both ears. She grew up as the only deaf member of a hearing family and they all learnt sign language when she was a baby so she has grown up using BSL. She started her own YouTube channel 5 years ago and she now has over 206,000 subscribers. So many people who subscribe to this channel have said they would love to learn BSL, but often work, financial, and time commitments have made it impossible for them to join a class.
