BIO: Dr. Osborne saw so many social inequities and civil rights issues that led to a shift in moving from counseling to the field of education. She believed that by working in Deaf education, she could teach Black & Latinx Deaf students the importance of being mindful, compassionate activists and become critically conscious of the society that does not value them.
