Resume

P Lanette Pinkard has been a professional freelance interpreter for over 30 years in Detroit and surrounding cities in Michigan. Lanette was raised as a child of Deaf adults (CODA) by her grandparents who founded the Detroit Silent Club, a Deaf social club that ran through the 70s. She was surrounded mostly by the Deaf community and her only exposure to her hearing culture was during school, church and the neighborhood children.
As a child, Lanette volunteered with her grandmother for several years at the League of Goodwill working with the Deaf-blind taking them out to enjoy different activities 1-2 times a month. Through communication with the Deaf/Blind she learned at an early age to do tactile interpreting. She interpreted church services for her grandparents and was raised in a time where her family had to wait until she got home from school to make calls and set up doctors appointments, discuss sales, and other grown-up issues.
At age 19, Lanette begin her professional interpreting career working for different agencies and Northville Mental Hospital. Lanette had the privilege of working for the Michigan Relay Center from its first day in May of 1991 for 14 years, until she retired from there in December 2005. She attends numerous workshops and seminars to continue developing her signing skills and is very active in the Deaf community as an ASL sign-language interpreter.
Lanette achieved her first Quality Assurance (QA) certification in 1986, again in 2007 and in June of 2009 became nationally certified through RID. She has worked in every arena of interpreting including mental health, legal, educational, entertainment, local to national conferences and workshops including the historical Tiger Stadium interpreting for Nelson Mandela before a crowd of 60,000 people.
Lanette is passionate about the field of interpreting, mentoring Interpreter Training Program (ITP) students. Her organization is one of the few that offers community sign-language classes as the work toward the vision of creating unity in both the Deaf and interpreting communities. As Founder and CEO of My Hands Your Heart, Inc., she endeavors to bring the Deaf and hearing world together through the service of interpreting, training, educating, mentoring, socializing, advocating, workshops and seminars by working with the skilled, talented and dedicated MHYH, Inc. team, and together with other organizations who are like-minded in their passion and service to the Deaf and Hearing community. Her organizational AND personal memberships include: NAD, RID, FRID, MIRID, MITIN, NAOBI. Lanette also serves as Vice President of the Detroit chapter of NAOBI. Lanettes loving and supportive husband, Tchalla serves as Chief Operating Officer for MHYH, Inc.
