MEET THE MAKERS: A CES TECH SPOTLIGHT | BY JADE BRYAN

A LITTLE TECH, A LOT OF INNOVATION! 📱✨ At CES 2026, I had the pleasure of meeting the team behind some exciting new tech products. I was gifted several items to try out and review, including a protective case for my new iPhone 17 Pro Max (6.9”), and I absolutely loved the experience! It was a pleasure meeting TC Wang, Business Manager, and Wanchen Chen, who personally took the time to walk me through their latest products, demonstrate their features, and share what the company has in development. I always appreciate brands that go beyond showcasing their products and take the time to connect with media, explain the thinking behind their designs, and give us a glimpse of what’s coming next. Now it’s time to put these products to the test! Stay tuned for my hands-on impressions and product reviews on  MICA Scoop TV’s DEAF WHO LOVES TECH! Discovering innovation. Testing products. Sharing the experience. #CES2026 #DeafTalentMedia #MICAScoop #DeafWhoLovesTech #TechReviews #ProductTesti...

INCLUSION MUST BE INTENTIONAL: REPRESENTATION BEYOND ACCESSIBILITY | BY JADE BRYAN

Although I didn’t have personal interpreters assigned to me throughout the CES conference, Jamie and Katie went above and beyond. They were incredible, and I genuinely appreciate their support and dedication. That said, one important area for improvement is  intentional inclusion—particularly the recruitment and hiring of Black interpreters. As Black professionals in technology, keynote speakers, and panelists continue to make their mark in the industry, equitable access to communication and networking opportunities is essential. Representation matters not only on the stages and panels but also among the professionals providing accessibility services. As representation at the executive level continues to grow, sustained progress in C-suite inclusion is equally important. This is precisely what we advocate for through  DEAF TALENT® Media & Entertainment Consulting  and our collaborators with the  Black Accessibility Gamechangers (BAG) campaign . Our mission is to ...

DEAF TECH TEST DRIVE | BY JADE BRYAN

  TESTING THE TECHNOLOGY. REPORTING THE EXPERIENCE. At CES, I’m not just walking the exhibition floor and looking at the latest innovations. I’m getting hands-on, testing products, exploring their features, and evaluating how they perform in real-world settings. From smart mobility and electric scooters to AI-powered devices and emerging consumer technologies, I want to know what works, what’s innovative, and what could be improved. Through  MICA Scoop TV , I bring those experiences directly to consumers through product demonstrations, interviews, reviews, and editorial coverage. I’m particularly interested in how emerging technologies can better serve Deaf consumers and people with disabilities. Innovation should be accessible, practical, and inclusive. Because seeing a product is one thing. Putting it to the test and reporting on it is another! MICA Scoop TV | DEAF TALENT® Media & Entertainment Consulting Testing products. Discovering innovation.

LENOVO EXECUTIVES UNVEILED QIRA AT THE SPHERE IN LAS VEGAS. | BY JADE BRYAN

I finally got the chance to step inside the Sphere after admiring it from the outside last year! On January 6, 2026, during a live keynote event at the Sphere in Las Vegas, Lenovo executives unveiled Qira, a personal AI assistant designed to work across Lenovo and Motorola devices, alongside a lineup of futuristic, AI-powered laptops and hardware. And yes, Motorola flip phones are officially making a comeback! Unsurprisingly, artificial intelligence dominated CES 2026. Companies like Lenovo and Samsung painted a vision of a future where AI is seamlessly woven into everyday life, from sunrise to sunset. The evening didn’t end there. It wrapped up with a live performance by Gwen Stefani! Meanwhile, while registered attendees and members of the media waited in line for their entry tickets, I breezed right in. No lines, no waiting—just a little magic, and voilà! #CES2026 #Media #DeafTalentMedia #LasVegas #DeafTalent®️ #MICAScoop #Tech #SephereLasVegas #Sephere #Techs how #Lenovo #Qira #AI ...
