Help Me Hire a Videographer to Bring ASL Education to the World
Who I Am?
My name is Jullian “JB” Mitchell, founder of JB ASL Coaching. I’m a Black Deaf entrepreneur teaching American Sign Language the way it should be taught — through real communication, not complicated textbook lessons. My motto: Communicate. Not Study.
I teach live twice a day on TikTok, run Zoom cohorts, and coach one-on-one. I’ve built a real, engaged community of people learning to sign with confidence — beginners, hearing parents, teachers, and Deaf community members alike. My background includes representing Team USA on the National Deaf Soccer Team, years of VRS work, and full immersion in Deaf communities across the country and now in Puerto Rico.
The Challenge?
Here’s the truth: I’m doing this mostly by myself. I’m the teacher, the editor, the uploader, the marketer — all in one. That works up to a point, but it’s holding back what this platform could actually be.
I have hours of lessons, vocabulary breakdowns, and community content that need to be filmed properly and organized on a real website where people can learn anytime — not just catch it live and lose it in the feed.
The Goal: Why I’m Raising Funds?
This fund has one clear purpose: to hire a videographer/editor who can:
• Film my lessons, TikTok Lives, and coaching sessions with real production quality
• Edit and organize that footage into structured lessons
• Upload and maintain that content on a dedicated website/video platform
That’s it. No vague mission — a specific hire, so ASL education from JB ASL Coaching has a permanent, professional home online instead of disappearing into a livestream.
Why This Matters?
Right now:
• People who want to learn ASL properly can’t always catch me live
• Great teaching moments get lost once a livestream ends
• A real website with organized video lessons means anyone, anywhere, anytime can learn
Imagine a place where every lesson I’ve ever taught live is archived, searchable, and ready for someone to learn from — that’s what this hire makes possible.
How You Can Help
• Donate — every dollar goes toward this hire and getting this content properly filmed and online
• Share — help me find backers and the right person for this role
• Follow along — watch the platform grow as this comes together
Let’s build something that outlasts the livestream. Let’s make ASL education accessible, permanent, and professional — for everyone.
