2025: A Year in Review

Looking Back on a Year of Visibility, Impact, and Growth

As 2025 comes to a close, Safe’N’Clear reflects on a year marked by purpose, partnership, and progress. The mission has remained consistent: to advance inclusive communication and ensure that every person, in every setting, has the opportunity to be seen, heard, and understood.

One of the most exciting milestones of the year was the launch of the Emerging Deaf Leaders Series, a platform created to spotlight rising advocates who are shaping a more accessible future. These stories highlight the leadership, resilience, and innovation within the Deaf community, and reaffirm the ongoing importance of visibility and voice.

Throughout the year, Safe’N’Clear continued to collaborate with valued partners who share a commitment to communication equity. Ongoing work with the American School for the Deaf and Gallaudet University has helped ensure that inclusive tools are integrated into healthcare and educational environments where communication directly affects outcomes. Additionally, the work of Dr. Anne McIntosh, founder and CEO of Safe’N’Clear, was amplified through her affiliation with the DisabilityIN.org- North Carolina chapter, where she supported policy and practice focused on equity and inclusion.

As the winter season arrives, many professionals are preparing for increased illness due to flu, RSV, COVID-19, and other seasonal respiratory concerns. Safe’N’Clear continues to promote The Communicator™ Clear Face Mask as a solution that balances medical-grade protection with visual access. Both ASTM Level 1 and Level 3 masks meet FDA standards, are 100 percent sourced and made in USA, and are designed to support clear communication in high-stakes environments.

For organizations preparing for Winter 2025 and Spring2026 needs, bulk ordering options are available to help ensure that safety and accessibility remain a priority. Facilities, classrooms, and clinics can maintain protection without sacrificing connection. The Communicator™ blocks germs, not communication.

Safe’N’Clear thanks every customer, partner, and advocate who contributed to this year’s impact. The work continues, and the future remains bright for communication that includes everyone. We thank you for being a part of Safe’N’Clear!
