THE LONG AWAITED SHOW IS FINALLY OUT!! I’m soooo honored to be a part of something ground breaking. This show is going to make you laugh, cry, feel a little less alone. I hope this show is going to be a reality check for a lot of people. The perception of being deaf is warped, as if we needed to be saved. NO. We eat, sleep & shit the same way as everyone else. So in turn, I hope this show will generate more career opportunities for the deaf, an improved society, especially in terms of accessibility for deaf folxs.
