About That Deaf Girl

I get several questions from readers about my blog.

•

I’m here to advocate for deaf/HOH community, influencing others to gain perspective on deafness, show some of the daily struggles not only with deafness but in every day life.

•

I know what it feels like to be alone in a crazy diverse world.

•

I know what it’s like to feel like to be a “burden”. That load on your shoulder is heavy.

•

I know what it feels like to be helpless. The look in other people’s eyes can be deceiving but don’t let it.

•

It doesn’t matter how deaf you are, how you speak or sign. It’s really okay.

•

You may be learning how to pronounce a word, learning how to sign, or learning how to hear. We are constantly educating ourselves every day.

•

Others should do the same. For us.

•

Be the best part of you. Embrace it. Be that deaf person.
