I wonder how other people with disabilities feel? Is this something you think about? How do you account for the challenges you add to your family as a disability doesn't affect just you... But everyone around you? . . @humansofny #humansofnewyork
@sherida_speaks here stating facts! Most people with hearing disabilities are MASTER head nodders. Only those who REALLY know us know when we are lying about reallllyyyy hearing. My boyfriend is becoming a pro at this btw. Most of the time, though, he has noooooo idea. My sister, though. Whewwww chillllleeeeeeee. She knows. Every time. There is no lying to her and I have both a love/hate relationship with her because of this. Darn it!
This applies to us folks with disabilities, too! You want something, advocate for it yourself and ask for what you want and need to be successful!
Have narrowed it down to TWO colors. That was something. Help me pick!!!!!!

Have an idea for a video I should make? Suggest it below!

STORIES

ABOUT Project Hearing

In 2015 I got pulled over and the police office gave me a bunch of commands that I didn’t hear and initially took my hearing disability for a lack of compliance. If you didn’t know, people with disabilities, especially those with hearing disabilities, experience police violence, wrongful arrests, and discrimination at higher rates than the general population. It was then, in that incredibly fearful moment (and many others leading up to it), that I realized that my challenges --dating as a person with a disability, getting a taxi, disclosing her hearing disability during a job interview-- were not personal challenges but social ones experienced by almost ALL individuals with hearing disabilities. So I had a lightbulb moment and decided to use social media as a platform through which I could share information.

Project Hearing, an organization that bridges the gap between information and resources for people with a hearing disability and tools, services, and resources to help us navigate and succeed in a hearing world.

In just one year Project Hearing has grown and expanded beyond my wildest dreams!

I am so excited to have you join us! .
