Providing a voice for the deaf

EIGHT ASPIRING ENTREPRENEURS are seeking to provide a voice for the deaf community via a new media venture.

Operating under the business name of Broad Street Media, the eight young people, who are all deaf, recently completed a special digital media programme catering specifically for the deaf community.

The inaugural course was a joint project between the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports’ mainstreaming programme and the National Council on Substance Abuse.

Some of the members had their business on display at the just-concluded Barbados Manufacturers’ Exhibition (BMEX) and also took the opportunityto speak about their thrust into media. (SDB Media)
