I am the fourth generation of being deaf.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I am fourth-generation deaf, which means everyone in my immediate family is deaf. So I grew up always having 100 percent accessibility to language and communication, which was wonderful and something so many deaf people don't have.
I am one hundred percent ready to be a spokesperson for the deaf community.
When I was young I knew I was deaf. I couldn't accept it.
We have over 25 deaf individuals in my family.
Growing up, I was always involved in the deaf community.
Since I knew my deaf identity since birth, it wasn't hard for me to be comfortable, confident, and independent in a hearing world.
I'm not a deaf musician. I'm a musician who happens to be deaf.
I'm really excited to educate the world about what deaf people can do.
Own your identity. Love who you are in the world. Love your deafness.
I was born deaf, and I gained my hearing back when I was six months old - it was a miraculous event.
