Exterior & Interior Floor Plans 3 II. Owners & Ownership Grace H. Blagdon, née Hayes, a Little Rock native since the age of five, went to Dunbar High School (class of 1955). From there, Grace went to Kalamazoo College in Michigan and afterwards she moved to California to be an elementary school teacher. She remained there for thirty years. Grace moved back to Little Rock in 2007 after retiring. She is still a fierce advocate of HPE’s projects. Trishmonisha Blagdon is Grace’s daughter. She is known as Onisha by her friends and family. Deafened from spinal meningitis at the age of two, she grew up mainstreamed in schools that taught oralism (communicating with others by speaking and lip-reading). She started to learn sign language at the age of sixteen. Onisha obtained a bachelor’s degree in Film & Television at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in 2002 and a master’s degree in Sign Language Education at Gallaudet University (Washington, D.C.) in 2015. She is an American Sign Language and Deaf Culture & History instructor at several community colleges in southern California. Onisha is a wife and mom. She is also an entrepreneur, a history enthusiast, and an incredible cook and baker. Onisha is stepping in to expand her mother’s visions. When the Addie and Wesley Hayes House is closed for a period of time to the public, members of the Blagdon-Hayes family are allowed to stay. III. Community Grace's heart and soul is embodied into community-based service. She wants to follow in her parents’ history of community contribution to the state of Arkansas and Little Rock. Onisha desires to continue the Hayes’ family tradition of community advocacy. As a deaf woman, Onisha wants to create business opportunities for the Little Rock community and boost the Little Rock & Deaf ecosystems. VI.
