Most deaf people want jobs–just like anyone else. But some employers discriminate against deaf people. One common solution that many deaf people use is to create their own jobs. A group of deaf women have done this by establishing a deaf restaurant in Gambia. All staff at the Tulkuya Signs Restaurant, including the owners, are Deaf women. They have taught sign language to customers. Meanwhile, customers at the deaf restaurant in Gambia have learned that deaf people can be good workers.
