About DPOCC
Connecting, empowering, and strengthening Deaf POC communities.
Connecting, empowering, and strengthening Deaf POC communities.
Deaf People of Color Connecting (DPOCC) is a Deaf-led organization focused on bringing Deaf POC individuals, families, and communities together through social connection, education, empowerment, and advocacy.
DPOCC creates opportunities for connection, representation, self-development, self-advocacy, and access to resources that support Deaf People of Color in their communities.
Our community includes Deaf, Hard of Hearing, DeafBlind, DeafDisabled, and other individuals with diverse communication and accessibility needs.
This stays within what the client already described and the content from the existing site rather than adding a new purpose. Her new site is specifically meant to be professional, welcoming and Deaf-centered.
Our mission is to bring Deaf POC together through social connection. This includes our Deaf children/CODA through Kids of Color Connecting (KoCC) and people of all genders.
We are united in building representation, inclusivity, equity, and social empowerment through self-development, social change, self-advocacy, awareness, resources, and educational workshops.
We help Deaf, Hard of Hearing, DeafBlind, and DeafDisabled POC address barriers that may prevent them from thriving.
We envision a community where Deaf People of Color can see themselves represented, feel included and valued, build meaningful connections, and have access to opportunities and resources that support their growth and empowerment.
We recognize and respect the different identities, experiences, and perspectives within our community.
We support fair access to opportunities, resources, and community participation.
We work to create spaces where people feel welcomed, respected, and included.
We want every Deaf Person of Color in our community to feel seen, valued, and connected.
DPOCC is committed to strengthening connections, empowering voices, and creating a more inclusive community for Deaf People of Color.
