URGENT: Help Me Seize a Once-in-a-Lifetime Opportunity to Unite Global Deaf & Hearing Authors

Goal: $1,800 | ⏳ Deadline Approaching Fast – Matching Gift Opportunity Right Now

Dear friends, community leaders, and changemakers,

I’m Terryann Nash, MAPL—a Human Rights Educator, International Author, and CEO of Nashinspired LLC. I’m reaching out in faith and urgency to ask for your help.

I’ve just been given an unexpected opportunity to join three other international authors—Deaf and hearing—on a mission that will bring educational tools, civic engagement, and global exposure to the forefront of our work. But I need your help now.

Why This Is So Urgent

Just days ago, I was offered a matching donation that opened the door to this powerful collaboration. The only problem? This opportunity comes with a ticking clock.

Every day I wait, flight costs rise. If I can raise $1,800, I can double its impact thanks to the match—and use this opportunity to do what I’ve dedicated my life to:

✔ Elevate Deaf and Hard of Hearing voices globally

✔ Create new educational tools rooted in equity and accessibility

✔ Build bridges between Deaf and hearing communities across the world

This is not just a trip. This is the next level of everything I’ve been working toward for 25+ years—and I need your help to get there.

What This Will Do for Me and My Life's Work

This project will:

• Expand my global reach and grow Nashinspired LLC’s training programs

• Allow me to co-create books, curriculum, and public presentations that amplify unheard voices

• Support my nonprofit, Diversity Alive!, which uses educational theater and ASL to empower youth, teach ADA law, and build empathy

• Put me in rooms where Deaf culture, Black leadership, and storytelling can spark real change

You’re not just helping me travel—you’re investing in a legacy of education, healing, and transformation.

✊ Honoring Dr. Andrew Foster

This mission is grounded in the legacy of Dr. Andrew Foster—the first Black Deaf man to graduate from Gallaudet University and the pioneer of Deaf education across Africa. Dr. Foster dedicated his life to opening schools, training leaders, and bridging gaps between communities and cultures.

His vision laid the foundation for the work I now carry forward. Like Dr. Foster, I believe faith, education, and representation must cross borders. With your help, I will stand in that legacy and make history in his honor.

My Work: Striving to See World Change

My latest book, Striving to See World Change, brings together leaders from Deaf and hearing communities—empowering others through personal stories of resilience, advocacy, and transformation. This opportunity will allow us to extend that vision globally, creating new volumes of shared impact and curriculum for future generations.

Every Cent Counts

Whether it’s $.50, $1, $10, or $100, your gift matters. This is more than fundraising—it’s a spiritual and ancestral moment. A seed you plant today could be the reason someone in the Deaf community sees their story in a textbook, a stage, or a movement.

Matching donations are available now—your support will go twice as far.

The deadline is urgent—the door will close if we don’t move now.
