Welcome to American Sign Language Studio

I'm Jazzmyne Pipkins, founder of the pioneering American Sign Language Studio in Downtown Florence, SC, which has recently become a member of the Greater Florence Chamber of Commerce. As someone who grew up with a hearing impairment, I've learned to view my condition not as a limitation, but rather as an opportunity to thrive. My journey with ASL has been marked by numerous challenges and triumphs, but with the unwavering support of my family and faith, I've been able to transform my life and pursue my passions. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Accounting from Gardner-Webb University, an MBA from North Greenville University, and certifications in tax and QuickBooks from Francis Marion University. Additionally, I am a proud member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, INC. My objective is to highlight the significance of American Sign Language in this region, where many individuals have deaf or hard of hearing friends and family members with whom they struggle to communicate. With the launch of the ASL studio, I am now offering classes to anyone interested in learning. My ultimate goal is to see ASL classes integrated into all schools, as I firmly believe there is a substantial need for this visual language, which encompasses unique hand gestures, body placement, and movement. Teaching ASL brings me immense joy, and I am thrilled to have established the ASL Studio in my hometown of Florence, located at 174 W. Evans St.
