[Graphic 1 ID: a white background with two logos are on the top of the graphic. From the left, there is a circle logo. In the circle logo, there are two circles within the logo, the outer ring with blue-white color, and the inner ring with navy blue coloring. The black words in the outer ring reads: ALABAMA ASSOCIATION OF THE DEAF, INC. In the inner ring, words are in bold red and it spells: AAD. The logo on the right is two hands signing “equality.” At the center of the image there is a triangle that depicts a colorful and vivid mix and swirl of colors that include the following: teal blue, green, gold, brown, gray, black, and dark colors. At the bottom of the graphic there is a message: Adjacent Space is honored (“honored” is in mint green coloring) to receive the 2021 Golden Hand Award from AAD!]

 

This month, the Alabama Association of the Deaf awarded Adjacent Space the Golden Hand Award, an award that was created by the National Association of the Deaf to recognize people and organizations who have contributed to their local and state Deaf communities. Adjacent Space received the award at the AAD yearly conference. We’re grateful and honored to have our work recognized, and we look forward to continuing to work with AAD on future projects!

PERSONAL MESSAGE ABOUT STEVE AUSTIN

 

[ID: a white man is wearing a black shirt and brown round glasses. He has a fade haircut. In the background there are three dark doors. The background shows a tan patterned wallpaper.]

 

A few weeks ago many of us received the shocking news about our community member, Steve Austin, passing away. Some of you may have known him for a long time as an interpreter, mental health advocate, colleague or friend. At the start of this organization, Steve willingly donated his time, energy and positive thoughts towards the inception of what we know today as Adjacent Space. When Adjacent Space had no funding he offered to interpret pro bono in order for Adjacent Space to create connections in the community and begin its journey.  Each volunteer and member of this community plays an important part of the positive change that we can all create, and we recognize Steve for the time he gave us.

 

If you're looking for a way to remember and honor Steve, the best way you can do so is to take care of your own mental health. If you need assistance, check out https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/find-help/.
