Deaf Nation in Pomona, CA
May 1, 2010
This is my second time selling HANDSHAPES at Deaf Nation in Pomona and I want to share my experience with you .
I want to say Thank you to my team, Jonathan Reyes, Rachel Tan, and Chris Peter for working with me at this event. Customers visited our booth throughout the day. It was pretty busy. We missed taking a lunch break but we had a great dinner together. GOOD NEWS- we reached our goal so we decided to call the event a success.
Shopping Experience
Our first customer was a deaf guy who bought a tee from the new line of Paha shirts. He wore it right after he purchased it. I guess he was proud to wear the Paha! shirt at Deaf Nation.
A teenage girl wanted to wear the “Don’t scream I am not that deaf” tee. She went to the cash table with her deaf mother. Her mother thought the shirt was free and she told her daughter “ YOU DO NOT NEED THIS SHIRT BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT DEAF”. The teen did not buy the shirt and she was really sad.
I wondered why the girl would want this shirt. I guess that she wanted to give a message to her parents, who may have been talking to her in a loud voice. I tend to talk to my parents in a loud voice too. Maybe they would want to wear this shirt. Funny!!
The crowning moment of this day was my interview with the LA Times reporter. Her article about me came out the following day.
