Starting the New Year with Lindsey!

What a fantastic way to begin the year! We had the honour of welcoming Lindsey as our guest speaker, who delivered an inspiring and insightful talk about British Sign Language (BSL)!Lindsey’s journey into BSL started when her first client needed sign language. She embraced the challenge and mastered Level 3 in BSL! During the pandemic, Lindsey’s BSL talks gained popularity, with 400 Zoom sessions delivered, fueled by influences like Rose from Strictly Come Dancing and Oscar-winning deaf actor Troy Kotsur. Lindsey explained that BSL is a unique language with its own sentence structure, lip patterns, and facial expressions. With over 300 sign languages worldwide, BSL’s roots go back to the 1400s and even appear in Samuel Pepys’ diary! Our members learnt some signs, including the alphabet, and are eager to learn more! Lindsey’s passion for BSL is contagious! WI members can explore further with free sessions at the WI Learning Hub starting Mondays (6-7 pm)!
