I just got the joke about his name "Gonketa" being an onomatopoeia. That in itself is brilliant. So much goodness in this video.

Great video and well communicated by Jaycob.

I think it is a bit of a pity that, in places, we can't see his hands. I get that there are subtitles, but considering the content, let us see the signing!

Great story, really enjoyed it 😊

What disables us is relative to our environment! Whether you're 'disabled' or not! Brilliant point made there!

Funny it ends with an upbeat instrumental that he will never hear. In a twist of irony proving his point.

[@AussieDropBear]

There were several ironic points, like his onomatopoeia name that went over my head on first viewing. I great video of a great man.

Um

[@docmcbungas3303]

Is it because he is deaf?

[@blujay1]

not very good to be cutting out his hands when hes signing, or only getting half of the fingerspelling, you only showed part of his name as he fingerspelled it
