DeafNation

Amazon smile logo appears, followed by text reading “DeafNation Expo, Pasadena, California.” We see the exterior of the Pasadena Convention Center with palm trees, lots of sunshine, and people walking by.

Inside, an enthusiastic crowd explores the convention booths. Many presenters are communicating in sign language. Text onscreen reads, “The foremost trade show for, by, and about deaf people.”

Text reads, “Amazon sponsored and participated in events nationwide. It’s part of our commitment to hiring from all communities for our warehouse roles. As an employer, we provide support at every stage.” We see more views of the convention center interior.

We provide full accommodations at every stage of the process, from the time that somebody applies, to when they come in and do their onboarding, to their Day 1 start and throughout their journey with Amazon.

Text reads, “Amazon Warehouse Associates shared how the team and tech helped them succeed.” We see sunlight streaming through windows in the background.

We have a service called P3 Purple. It’s an interpreter on the screen. We have interpreters on demand.

Various sign language interpreters appear on computer screens.

The managers can speak right into their laptop, and they interpret for you right then and there. It’s so clear.

I actually was really surprised when I came to Amazon that they provided those accessibility options for us, especially for the deaf community. We really cherish organizations that do that, and it really made me proud.

Sometimes it’s hard for deaf people to get ahead, and I’ve seen deaf people get ahead at Amazon.

I’ve seen deaf people become ambassadors, trainers, process assistants, and managers.

I just take advantage of what I can. And I really love working at Amazon. It is a champ business. Please, if you hear of anyone that wants to join Amazon, grab as many people as you can. We need the help. Don’t be scared. Be brave. Amazon has interpreters here to help and they’re awesome.
