While this space is built for women with hearing loss, it’s not limited to them. Friends, family, allies, and the simply curious are welcome here, too. Because accessibility, hearing loss, and Deaf culture are not niche—they are part of a larger story we all share.

THE SOCIAL HOUR

Monthly online guided discussions for dDeaf and Hard of Hearing individuals who are 18+ with Disabilities, Neurodivergence, and Chronic Illness.

To ensure accessibility, ASL interpreters and English captioning will be available during every session.

TDGC BESTIES PROGRAM

The Deaf Girl Club Besties membership includes six 1:1 monthly calls with a peer mentor.

Each month there are corresponding workbook activities and free resources to encourage our Besties to explore their dDeaf identity, and navigate a ‘hearing’ world.

Feel free to join our waitlist!

Businesses

We are excited to announce our accommodation and accessibility review services!

We visualize a world where accessibility surpasses more than meeting an ADA-approved checklist. We work to create safe, accessible, and inclusive products and spaces for dDHH+ individuals. We truly believe accessibility transcends wheelchair ramps or interpreters. Accessibility should be a world-class experience—leaving your audience feeling seen, understood, and celebrated.

Let’s get connected, feel free to inquire through our contact page!

No. We had originally started filing for a 501C3 status in 2023, but after guidance from multiple mentors and our local business alliance we decided that Non Profit status wasn’t right for us.

We are now finishing the process of becoming an LLC with the hope of being a charitable business. What we sell still helps us create safe and accessible environments through our accessibility and cultural consultation services we now offer. We will continue with our current outreach groups and events, as well as educate the community about life with hearing loss.

We partner with a wide range of brands to create curated content, host community events, and uplift dDeaf voices.

Content Creation & Collaborations

At For The Deaf Girl, we’re passionate about partnering with brands that prioritize accessibility and inclusion. Our community was created to celebrate and amplify the voices of dDHH women, which guides every collaboration we pursue.

Whether we’re sharing a product, telling a story, or building a long-term partnership, we look to promote brands that uplift and celebrate women.
