Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm really excited to educate the world about what deaf people can do.
I have always aspired to be the type of role model who can bridge the deaf and hearing communities.
I started to realize that there are a lot of people who are unaware of deaf culture, and I've been given a great platform to reframe the deaf community.
I am the fourth generation of being deaf.

I hope that through my example, such as my role on 'The West Wing,' I can help change attitudes on deafness and prove we can really do everything... except hear.
Growing up, I was always involved in the deaf community.
The deaf community and the hearing community, there's not always a ton of interaction.
I hope I inspire people who hear. Hearing people have the ability to remove barriers that prevent deaf people from achieving their dreams.
I was the first spokesperson for the Better Hearing Institute in Washington. And that's the message we tried to send out - there is hearing help out there, and the technology and options are amazing.
